I'm looking for rockered skis to ski mostly in South America. I know that they work great in pow. But I was wondering how do they work in crud and breakable crust? Here in SA we have wet snow and perhaps you have pow on the morning and it changes into breakable crust in the afternoon.
I am considering as other options Armada JJ or bentchetlers. Any thoughts?

Chetlers would be too soft for SA crud.

There are some who use Hellbents as daily drivers, but I would say they're not the best for crud and crust because they have a bit too much flop to them. You'll get through it with enough power, but you'll also get kicked around a bit. I would look for a bit skinnier ski if you want a wet pow ski... JJs, Blogs, Seths probably more what you want.
