Like its namesake, Chris Benchetler, this ski is all high performance. A halfcap construction in the tip and tail reduces swing weight and makes it a very playful ski while also protecting against chipping. The sidewall and core construction combine to improve shock absorption around the binding, increase torsional rigidity for optimum edge grip and produce a lively, responsive flex. Testers reported the Bent Chetler was “nimble and could make any turn anywhere in pow.” The ski’s traditional camber underfoot also makes it skiable all over the mountain.
