Skis: Atomic Bent 85 Atomic Bent Chetler 85 is a versatile all-mountain/park ski developed by Chris Benchetler and the Atomic Freeski Team. The 85mm center width and All-Mountain Rocker profile keep the descent under control. The light wood core and the Dura Cap Sidewall structure guarantee dynamic handling and quick changes from edge to edge. All-mountain freestyle/parking skis for advanced skiers. The skis are equipped with all the features an ambitious parking calculator needs. The Directional Twin shape makes the skis very versatile and perfect for freestyle skiing in every corner of the mountain.
The shape of the ski is directional twin, where the nose is a few millimeters wider than the tail, and the bindings are placed in the middle of the skis. Thus, the ski offers the same landing characteristics both when skiing forwards and backwards. On the other hand, a slightly wider nose gives more lift in fresh snow.
The All-Mountain Rocker profile is suitable for all terrains. As a profile, the classic camber shape under the bindings and the rocker design in the nose and tail. It offers precision and pop in the park and on the slopes and good buoyancy in powder.
Dura Cap Sidewall construction provides controlled power transfer and excellent edge grip. The rounded shape makes the skis significantly more durable and less prone to scratches. The light wood core is made of poplar. This wood core reduces weight and dampens vibration for a smoother landing. The Densolite foam core absorbs vibrations and makes the ski very agile.
Bandages
Atomic Strive 12 GW Whether it's all-mountain, freeride or freestyle skiing, the Atomic Strive 16 MN offers a very stable platform that excels in all situations and snow conditions. The LDN Toe's low center of gravity puts the binding closer to the ski for better feel in the snow, more direct response and faster reaction throughout the turn. The slightly steep frame puts the skis in a more neutral position while maintaining the ski's natural flexibility and curve. The wide, three-part metal base provides a solid connection that guarantees excellent durability, strong grip and stability. The multi-standard binding works with all ski winters according to the ISO standard - DIN, Touring and Walk To Ride (WTR). Manual toe height adjustment enables changing different shoe standards quickly and easily. A favorite of the Atomic Freeski team and pros like Chris Benchetler, Jossi Wells and Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, the Strive 16 MN lets you ski the way you want, where you want.

Skis are an important part of skiing equipment, and choosing the right size is essential for good performance and comfort.
Here's a guide to choosing your downhill ski size:
1. Consider your own skill level:
Beginners can benefit from slightly shorter skis that are easier to control. More experienced skiers may choose longer skis, which offer better stability at high speeds and in different conditions.
2. Consider your own height:
Skis are often chosen based on the skier's height. The recommendation is that the skis should reach about below the chin. However, this may vary slightly depending on the skier's preferences and ski type.
3. Consider the type of skis:
- All-mountain skis are well suited to a wide range of conditions and ski skills.
- Carving skis are designed more for tight turns and are well suited for slope use.
- Powder skis are wider and are especially suitable for skiing in deep snow.
4. Choose skis according to your skiing style:
If you prefer fast skiing and jumping, choose skis that are suitable for this purpose. If you prefer more relaxing skiing and long descents, choose skis that offer good balance and stability.
Pay attention to your weight:
Weight affects how the skis sink into the snow. Heavier skiers should consider longer and stiffer skis, while shorter and more flexible skis are suitable for lighter skiers.
Ask an expert:
If you are unsure about the right size or type, ask a ski equipment expert at our rental company for advice. They can help you choose the right skis for your individual needs.
