Atomic Bent Chetler 120 Skis 2025

If you love to ski in the deepest snow you can find, and also throw some tricks and spins along the way, you might want to check out the new 2024.25 Atomic Bent Chetler 120, on early release at Ellis Brigham. This ski is one of our widest models, with a hefty 120mm waist, so it's bound to have floatation by the bucket load. But what made it stand out to us on test was the surprising all-mountain handling too. This is thanks to the innovative Bent HRZN 3D and the 60% rocker, which make this ski surprisingly agile for its size and enable it to handle any terrain and condition with ease. It’s planted yet smeary, providing amazing float on soft snow or quick to wash out when needed, if you get into some tricky tight spots. You can also have fun playing on the groomed trails, as this ski has some grip and stability for cranking the edges over and letting them rail. Whether you’re hitting the backcountry bowls or searching out stashes, this ski is a ton of fun and is perfect for stomping tricks on backcountry booters, pillow lines, or natural features. Unleash your inner powder-hound with the Atomic Bent Chetler 120.

Terrain Type & Ability Level

Terrain Type
These skis are designed with floatation in mind and thrive in powder-filled terrain. Whether it’s wide open bowls, backcountry booters or tight tree runs, they offer a lively and smooth ride with their planted yet smeary style handling.

Skier Type
These are for a confident skier who loves to find the freshest and deepest stashes. They'll happily ski the whole mountain and like to have fun when doing so but buttery turns through pillow lines, tree runs or open bowls are where they're happiest.

Overview

Shape
With a 120mm waist and medium to long sidecut radius, these Bents obviously rule in soft snow. Compared to other wider skis they don't have lots of tip or tail taper, which helps to maintain good edge hold when needed. However, when you mix in the fact that they're 60% rockered, it means that not only do they float through soft snow with ease, they also pivot and are manouvrable on firm conditions too.

Rocker
Powder Rocker 30/40/30 - with 30% rocker at the tip, 40% camber under foot and 30% rocker at the tail, the steering is surfy, floaty and pivots with ease for a wide ski. Camber gives the skis grip on had pack when needed.

Core
Atomic's Light Woodcore uses poplar to optimise the skis weight without sacrificing any shock absorption or stability.

Construction
Dura Cap Sidewall uses a sidewall from base to top sheet for controlled power transmission and great edge grip. The rounded shape of the Dura Cap is a fantastic durability feature as it picks up fewer dents and dings.
