How do these bad boys handle in the crud and the groomed? Can i get away with this ski a a one ski quiver? I ride primarily Squaw and Kirkwood and love the pow but ski everything on the mountain including a little bit of park. I had line prophet 100s the past two years and loved them but wanted something a little more playful and wider under foot without sacrificing high speed stability and money GS turns on the cord.

Can this ski really do it all?

No ski can do it all but that said you need the bent chetlers. I got an early pair of chetlers and also have a pair of prophet 100s. Aside from a pair of slalom skis for early season hard on-piste all of my time is on the 100s and the chetlers. There's nothing better than the chetlers in the trees. Super quick. Great in the pow on the big lines too because you can switch between long and short turns super easily. They seem to be great on short to medium drops, keep you centered, land soft. The most surprising thing is they arc so well on the groomers. You really can fly and carve. Thanks to Atomic's race pedigree I guess. super fun in the park. Great switch. Such a playful ski. I never had so much fun skiing slush bumps as with the chetlers, slashing the slush piles. So why do I ever put on the prophet 100s? I think those are also amazing, two best skis I've had. Going fast on groomers or hard snow 123 width just feels strange. A little slow to get between edges. The 100s bomb on the groomers and are still fantastic (though not as versatile) in the trees. Bottomline: The Bent Chetlers are the perfect ski for the trees and a great ski for a lot of other conditions. There may not be a better ski on earth for just having fun no matter what day it is.

Yes. This ski is the best ski on the market or the armada JJ's. The thing thats unique about these skis is that they have a flexy part of the ski underfoot. Which gives it a more playful feel to the ski. Then the tail and tips are a stiff. It makes it so you can have great high speed skiing with good stability. Since its fatter it'll ski amazing in the crud and the powder! What makes it the one ski quiver is that there is a lot of rocker on the ski and it touches the snow at two points. The two point contact ski makes skiing groomers amazing. The ski has all the other nice ski's have including rocker and taper and camber. They are also insanely light. This ski or the JJ armada are the best skis on the market.
