This Ski Is A Staff Favorite:

Powder7 Staff Pick Tyler J
By: Tyler J
This is the best ski in the world. No, seriously - it is the best. Powder performance is through the roof, playfulness is unmatched, it holds an edge, and when the moon is right it speaks to me and tells me to jump off everything. It is Jerry Garcia reincarnated as a ski: it just flows and jams, its only goal to have fun.

If that sounds like something you're into, read on. Otherwise, maybe you should take up something like competitive water drinking, or golf.

With that out of the way let's talk Bent Chetler. This ski has a very progressive mount point without quite hitting that center mount, so it still has a slight directional character which helps keep those tips surfing when the snow is swimming pool deep. The twin tips keep it super maneuverable and encourages you to hit those switch landings and take-offs and the nifty camber gives you the ability to lay down some trenches when you need to get back to the lift.

If we're talking lifts though, we should also talk about the lack thereof... that's right, I'm talking touring. If you, like me, love earning some turns, but don't love skiing around the weekend crowd, and want some real skiing power while you do it, this ski is your ticket to ride. Slap a Salomon Shift (fortuitously made in a perfect 120mm brake) on this snow stick and start walking up hill. At 1750ish grams, it is extremely light for its weight, and even more importantly extremely light for its performance. I ski this in bounds, out of bounds, and everything in between (what is in between, exactly?) and on every snow type. Sure it doesn't handle crud and crunchy wind crust well, but no ski that is fun does anyway.

So don't wait, go grab this stick. Sure you could be $750 richer, but this long strange trip is all about the ride, and this is the best ride of your life.

There's a reason you see the Atomic Bent Chetler 120 at some point in most big mountain film segments these days- they absolutely RIP in powder! They're are extremely light for how wide they are, are fantastic in the air and have a great swing weight. Energetic and quick edge to edge, they are still fun even when it isn't a powder day. Tons of rocker and a progressive mount point make them remarkably maneuverable, so you can slash, pivot and charge down pretty much any terrain!

Such a fun ski! Buttery and smooth in deeper snow, slashy and poppy in more variable conditions. The Bent Chetler 120 is truly is a do all, big mountain/powder ski that is fun in the air, through tight spaces, and of course shacked up in the white room!

Our Take On The 2026 Atomic Bent Chetler 120:

The iconic Atomic Bent Chetler 120 is just that, iconic. It�s been one of the most popular powder skis over the last decade. Beloved by skiers with all sorts of ski styles, you�ll be hard pressed to find a staffer here at the shop who doesn�t enjoy their time on the Bent Chetler 120. So, do we need a lengthy product description in addition to these facts? Probably not, but here�s one anyway. The Atomic Bent Chetler 120 is a playful powder ski that is light on the feet but supportive in all the right ways. A progressive flex pattern with softer tips and tails makes buttering and surfing through powder feel all kinds of intuitive. The solid �powder ski� waist width of 120 ensures you get the best bang for your buck on powder days, but Atomic�s beveled tips and tails with HRZN 3D enhance surfability. This ski feels loose and drifty in all the right ways, but take it off a feature for a big landing, and you�ve got a solid platform underfoot. The ash binding reinforcement added last season helps keep binding retention and torsional rigidity strong when you really need it. That was 139 more words than we needed to tell you that this is a perfect powder ski for anyone looking to make the most of the best days on the hill. Similar skis: Salomon QST X, Volkl Revolt 121.
