At Atomic, we like to say that if you’re a skier who sees the mountain as a blank canvas, then the New Bent Family has the brush with which to paint your masterpiece. Chris Benchetler is the mastermind behind the graphics, and the skis are validated by the pros on the Atomic Freeski team. The Bent family has evolved over the past 14 years and continues to inspire both the younger and older generations of skiers.
With regards to Atomic’s Pipeline Project athletes, our Junior Freeski Team, Bent skis have been the go-to ski for this season. We asked a few of them which ski was their favorite and why. Here is what they said:
Levi Friedman:
“My favorite all around ski is the Bent Chetler 100. It is poppy on the lip, very playful, awesome in powder and easy to carve on the groomers. It is very stable and has sick graphics, so if you want a ski that can do it all and can handle all the things that you throw at it this is the ski for you.”
Zoe Greze-Kozuki:
"I love the bent 90s! They are super light and flexible. I love the cool graphics. They are perfect for getting sendy in the park.”
Fergus Hayes:
“The Bent 100's are super light, playful and really fast but feel in total control. The graphics are super cool. I was concerned I had gone too big in length but after riding and feeling how light and nimble, there were no worries at all. All and all amazing skis and I am totally stoked to be riding Atomic Bents.”
Amelia LaPorte:
“My favorite pair is the Bent 100s. They are the perfect ski for me, as I can ski the hardest trail on the mountain and no matter how big of an air I send, my skis will be ready to support me. I skied on a pair of Bent 100s last year as well and loved them. I wouldn't be able to write an accurate review if I didn't mention how popular they are. Whenever you are out skiing you will see them because they are the perfect ski for everyone. Whether you are competing or ripping down a groomer. These are just some of the reasons why I love my Bents and know you would too."
Ryder Hennessy:
“My bent 90s are my favorite skis I’ve owned. They are super light making it easy to spin in the air and on rails. The graphics are super sweet. They are the perfect ski for getting sendy in the park!”
Duke Woodman:
“I love the Atomic Bents because they allow me to ski them how I want to. When I’m riding them, they feel like a continuation of me and they allow me to easily turn what were just ideas, into a reality.”
