2026 Atomic Bent Chetler 120 Skis

Back and looking fresh for 2026, the Atomic Bent Chetler 120 remains the go-to powder tool for skiers who like their lines deep, playful, and creative. Designed in collaboration with legendary pro freeskier and artist Chris Benchetler, this ski blends float, surf, and pop in one of the most iconic shapes in modern freeride.

Why we like it:

It’s still one of the most fun powder skis on the planet. It's loose when you want to slash, stable when you need to send, and surprisingly nimble for 120 mm underfoot.

Who it's for:

Ideal for advanced to expert freeride skiers who live for deep days and want a ski that encourages creativity in big terrain. Whether you're slashing spines, bouncing through pillows, or spinning off natural features, the Bent 120 delivers.

Highlights:

Built with a poplar Light wood core and full HRZN Tech in both tip and tail, the Bent 120 offers ridiculous float and smearability without sacrificing stability. The rocker-heavy profile and symmetrical flex make switch landings, surf-style turns, and butters feel completely natural. Carbon reinforcement keeps the ski light and playful, while the Dura Cap Sidewall ensures durability even when you’re pushing the limits.

Things to consider:

This is a true powder ski. While it’s shockingly versatile for its width, it’s not built for firm snow or frontside carving, so keep it where it shines: off-trail and in deep conditions.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size. Go with your usual length for a balance of float and freestyle maneuverability; size up for extra stability on big terrain or if you tend to ski fast and aggressively.
