Atomic Backland Bent Chetler 2018 Ski Review

The Atomic Backland Bent Chetler 2018 absolutely loves the powder, and powder loves the Bent Chetler. Retaining all the elements that made the 2017 offering so popular, the Bent Chetler 2018’s performance off piste is almost unparalleled.

This ski offers the advanced skier a LOT of fun from first lifts to last. It is extremely versatile across terrains and has brilliant mobility across soft powder. Thanks to the 30% tip and tail rocker, the Atomic Backland Bent Chelter offers good float and easy turn initiation even when the snow is really heavy.

The addition of HRZN technology simply increases this floatation, a unique and interesting design that keeps the Atomic Bent Chetler ahead of the game when it comes to powder.

A suprisingly stable tip keeps things steady when your speed gets going so you can really attack the slopes. Regardless of terrain or condition, this ski is willing to tackle it with energy and audacity. It is reliable underfoot, keeping your confidence high.

For a powder ski, the Atomic Backland Bent Chetler is nice and easy to use on piste in order to get where you want to be. It’s not a ski you would want to keep on the piste for too long though – where it really wants to be is on the powder!

Atomic have retained the wooden design for the Backland Bent Chetler. While personally we prefer last years graphics, we are sure there will be many a fan of the 2018 design. Furthermore, priced at £500, this ski offers really good value for money in comparison to some other powder skis we have seen this year.

Popular year on year for a reason, the Atomic Backland Bent Chetler 2018 is sure to follow in this trend!
