However, the 100 didn’t excel in deep snow and the 120 was a tool purely for the backcountry - there was a gap in the lineup for athletes looking for an everyday ski for those "in-between" days that make up the majority of our seasons out West. After years of skiing the big version, Atomic team athletes were delighted by the introduction of the Bent Chetler 100 a few years ago as a ski that could rip when conditions weren’t stellar. In fact, it’s really just a narrower-waisted version of the original 120mm version with some slight changes to shape and construction to make it more appropriate for everyday riding. The new Bent 110 isn’t a radical departure from the existing Bent Chetler designs. The Bent 110 will also be available in a new smaller size at 164cm this year to make the ski more inclusive and appeal to a larger audience of riders. I put the new Bent 110 to the long-term test as my daily driver ski for riding Jackson Hole for the last few months, and am still blown away simply by how fun it is to ride. Light enough for touring, but powerful enough to charge inbounds, the Bent 110 might be the ultimate one-ski-quiver for those who like to slash, butter, and jump off everything in sight when the snow is soft. New is the 110mm-underfoot version, the perfect every day ski for playful freeriding both in and out of bounds. Designed and developed with legendary freeskier and artist Chris Benchetler, and skied by all manner of Atomic athletes like Amie Engerbretson, Nick McNutt, and Kai Jones, the line of skis (now just called the Bent) has evolved yet again. It’s dual-rocker design, colorful graphics, and freestyle-inspired shape have put smiles on the faces of skiers for the last 14 years. | Andrey Shprengel photo.Ītomic’s Bent Chetler has got to be one of the most recognizable powder skis around.
