Our Opinion

More About This Ski

One of the most revered freeride skis on the mountain, the Bent Chetler 120 employs next-generation HRZN 3D with a full wrap tip/tail profile for even more playful skiing and better float in the deepest snow. Chris Benchetler’s signature ski and the biggest brother in the Bent family, the latest iteration of the Bent Chetler 120 utilizes Powder Rocker for more float, a poplar Light Woodcore for more strength and a lower-impact design that uses more wood and less metal, fiberglass and resin to decrease the environmental impact of the ski’s production. A wildly imaginative top sheet designed by Chris himself with more recycled material further reduces the overall carbon footprint. In total, material-related CO2 equivalent emissions were cut by 13% (compared with the Bent Chetler 120, 2022). Chris’ favorite update? He’s stoked on the ash wood binding reinforcement band that adds 10% more strength!
