Atomic Bent 100 | 2024

If you’ve never heard of Atomic’s Bent Chetler family, designed by legendary freeride athlete and insanely talented creative Chris Benchetler, it’s safe to say you’ve been living under a rock. One of the most celebrated families of skis from any brand, the Bent 100 is the middle child that offers the fun and floaty capabilities of its wider siblings while still maintaining the ability to slash and carve on a dime like its smaller sibs. Tester Eric Gerrmann is willing to go as far as to say, “The Bent 100 is one of the most versatile skis out on the market today. For a skier seeking one super fun, playful ski to bring anywhere, this is it—especially for an East Coaster.” HRZN Tech in the tip accounts for the Bent 100’s generous float, while a light wood core and Powder Rocker provide slash- and slarve-ability and Dura Cap Sidewalls offer total control on edge.
