Atomic Bent Chetler

In the deepest of the deep, the Bent Chetler (along with my other favorite, the Moment Deathwish) promotes fun and stylish skiing, thanks to a well-tapered tip and tail that helps you initiate and finish your turns as smoothly as its name- sake, Chris Benchetler. With the most rocker of any Atomic ski (30 percent in both tip and tail, with 40 percent camber underfoot), and carbon fiber stringers that reduce stiffness and add pop (allowing you to butter, ollie and slash off of anything in sight), the Bent Chetler is exceptionally playful. Although most skis this wide only perform well outside the ropes, the Bent Chetler slays inbounds. - Jeff Schmuck
