The 2025 Atomic Bent Chetler Mini with Atomic Colt 7 Bindings brings big mountain performance to young skiers aged 5-13, and is ideal for those eager to expand their horizons on the mountain. Featuring Powder Rocker and a 90 mm waist, these skis offer superior flotation and versatile freeride capabilities. Built to the same high standards as the original Bent Chetler Skis, they serve as an excellent steppingstone for young skiers aiming to advance their freeride skills.

Why we like it:

The Bent Chetler Mini provides the kind of adult-level performance that young skiers need to elevate their skiing, offering a robust platform to support their adventurous style.

Who it's for:

Quickly advancing junior skiers between the ages of 5-13 who require a sturdy and responsive ski to build their confidence and push their limits.

Highlights:

The Atomic Densolite Core provides stability and responsiveness while keeping the weight of the ski down, allowing young skiers to stay energized throughout the day. The Dura Cap Sidewalls enhance edge grip and stability, particularly on firm snow. Additionally, the Powder Rocker profile simplifies skiing in soft snow, making it more intuitive for young riders.

Things to consider:

The Bent Chetler Mini is designed with a freeride focus and won’t be the best choice for kids who prioritize carving. However, for kids interested in freeriding or needing a versatile ski, the Bent Chetler Mini excels as an all-around option.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size. For less experienced skiers, consider sizing down.
