Atomic Bent Chetler 120 | 2024

Since the inception of the Bent series, the Bent Chetler 120 has been a fan-favorite for powder hounds and backcountry bums alike. It could be the dura cap sidewalls combined with HRZN Tech in the tip and tail, it could be the powder rocker profile, the touch of camber underfoot, or it could simply be the mesmerizing topsheet designed by artist and athlete Chris Benchetler himself. The likely story? It’s all those elements put together, plus a 120-mm waist that could land these planks in a Powder Ski Hall of Fame…if one existed. “The Atomic Bent 120 has been the benchmark for the ultimate powder ski for years, and in 2024, it still is,” tester Eric Gerrmann exclaims. “This ski floats better than everything else in its class, and it pivots in soft snow on a dime. Adding in an insanely playful tip and tail makes this ski one of the best powder skis on the market.”
