Bent Chetler or Pon2oon?
I am 5' 10 140. I currently ski the Rossignol S3's which I love. I am thinking about getting a pair of powder skis. I skied the K2 Pon2oons and liked them but so many people like the Bent Chetler's that I want to consider them as well but haven't been able to find a place in Colorado that demos them. How do they compare and what length should I get?

What will you be using these for? If you are looking for a pure powder ski (and will continue skiing the Rossi S3's for non powder, chunky, icy, groomers, anything non powder) then get the Pon2oons. From my friends and others the Pon2oons suck on ice, groomers, or skied out conditions. Just had this conversation last night, when skiing the Pon2oons in powder it's awesome, but when having to ski the groomer on the run to the lift, IT's AWFUL! If you are looking for more of a 1 quiver ski/daily driver, then the Bent Chetlers would be your choice. They love powder,chunk, ice, groomers...... Just determine what you want the ski for!
