2026 Atomic Bent Chetler Mini Junior Skis with Nordica Cruise M Boots and Poles

Playful freeride energy scaled down to kid size is what the Atomic Bent Chetler Mini delivers. It carries the soft, surfy character of the full-size Bent Chetler into a light junior build with an easy flex, so young skiers can slash soft snow and pop off side hits without being overpowered. The forgiving shape leaves plenty of room to grow into. Kids get a ski that makes exploring the whole mountain feel like play rather than practice. [boot PKG overview]

Who it's for:

Young skiers who gravitate to soft snow, side hits and natural features. It suits kids at an intermediate level who want a playful ski rather than one focused on holding an edge.

Things to consider:

Rocker at both ends means less edge on the snow, so this ski slides around on firm groomers in a way a narrower junior ski won't. Kids who mostly ski hard-packed conditions may find it vague.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Playful skis work best at a length the child can control through the air and in tight spots, so resist adding length for float. A ski around the skier's height or a touch under keeps spins and slashes accessible.
