We all know the real reason you're calling in sick this winter—you're the proud owner of a pair of Bent Chetler 120s, ruler of bottomless days and the steepest, most pristine lines on the mountain. Their burly 120mm waist demonstrates a penchant for deep snow, and the generously rockered profile with a touch of underfoot camber delivers a surfy, playful personality. Its powder prowess is further enhanced by boat hull-shaped Horizon Tech that helps you break your edge free and make quick pivoting turns. Toss in a lightweight and responsive construction and you have a freeride powder ski that offers outrageous amounts of control, pop, and power to encourage hard-charging and creative riding alike.

My season where I live hasn't really started yet but I have put them to use on an indoor slope, I couldn't be happier with how versatile they are as even on hard pack man made indoor snow they carved like no other powder ski I've seen. Reasonably flexible ski but the snap really saved me from landing too backseat a few times and if you center mount them switch skiing is a breeze. Even thought they are pretty wide I still haven't lost an edge on turns. I believe as long as you are a strong skier you should have no problem with these doing anything. Had a great time at faster speeds and they really didn't chatter much, these skis are not for new skiers, skiers that maybe lighter or less aggressive skiers. They are definitely meant for powder junkies and hard chargers. If you consider yourself an advance skier looking to try new terrain these are perfect as they still feel like a camber ski but have the abilities of a rocker ski with the huge early rise tips and tails. I would suggest the 176 if your looking to use it for a variety of terrain or if you intend to center mount them, otherwise I'd say go longer. It also helps they are basically a work of art.

You already know. Float like a butterfly sting like a bee. Are these touring skis? Sure. Are they monsters in open bowls, tight chutes, cliff drops, and smoozy side hits, you betcha. If you don't have a pair yet, stop what you are doing and get in there.
