There is a reason the bases of the Bent Chetlers are so cool: These skis are made to catch as much air as possible. The super-playful and poppy Bent Chetler 120 is also designed to float and smear turns in the softest snow they can find. Outside of powder, these wide planks still prefer sliding and popping off everything, and testers had a ball on the playful terrain of Taos, even where it wasn’t very soft. But, as you might expect, these Atomics are best in the soft stuff.
STRENGTHS: Flotation, Playfulness
WEAKNESSES: Crud Performance, Stability at Speed
