So after a few runs, I bumped the bindings forward two cm to -5.8 cm, and then another cm to -4.8 cm from center. But I tend to like skis that feel more balanced in the air, and really appreciate skis that give me the option of either skiing with a forward stance or a more centered one. ![]() I started out on the ski at the recommended line of -7.8 cm from center, and here, it definitely feels like a directional ski that rewards a forward stance. Luke Koppa (5’8”, 155 lbs): One of the most unusual things about the Bent Chetler 100 is that it includes marks for mount points ranging from -1.8 cm to -11.8 cm from center. We posted a Flash Review of the Bent Chetler 100 back in the spring, and now that Sam Shaheen, Jonathan Ellsworth and I have all spent time on the ski, it’s time to further tease out what this ski is, what it isn’t, who it’s for, and what it’s for. So you can probably see why we were a bit confused when we first got the ski. The Bent Chetler 100 has a recommended mount point of -7.8 cm from center (aka, a pretty traditional mount), and has neither a symmetrical rocker profile nor symmetrical flex pattern. And it shares the name with the Bent Chetler 120, one of the most playful powder skis on the market.īut the Bent Chetler 100 didn’t seem to share all that much in common with either Chris Benchetler or his powder ski. ![]() On the one hand, it’s named after one of the most playful skiers out there, Chris Benchetler. As we noted in our First Look, the Bent Chetler 100 wasn’t quite what we were expecting.
