me too, altho is surprises me that the atlas is an atomic graphic, sooo similar to the prophet series the past few years, especially the new one.

every company has stepped their game up hard this year

wait untill you see it in person. 
That base is fucking awesome. I mean awesome

but yea, this year might be the first time in a while that I have been stoked on Atomic

my only wish is that the Bent-chetler came in a length longer then 183. a 187-191 would be prime.

If the Bent Chetlers were in fact the direct replacement of the Thug, I believe they would have made a longer length available.

If the Bent Chetlers were longer, like mentioned above (I'd like a 190-195 personally) they would definitely be added to my quiver. 183cm is way too short.

see i thought that a 183 would be too short too.  but after skiing them i find it to be a kick ass size.
my other ski is a 191 armada ant for reference.

they are pretty much a more than average versatile rockered ski. once i got over the length they are waay fun, mad light, and great for everything but the choppiest of crud.  there a bigger ski would be nice, but man, i've had enough waist deep days on them to say that they aren't too short unless you're like 250 lbs.

i'm even more stoked on the blog, which will be almost exactly like an armada jj.

It's nice to hear the ski rips despite the short length. Adding a 'short' 183cm Bent Chetler to my quiver would be redundant, as I have 185cm JJ's. I am 6'2" and 175 lbs and would have liked a bit more length for my JJ's as well. They look like they would kill everywhere but ice. Any comparisons on flex?

Side note, do you have specs on the Blog?

the bent is a tad softer than the jj.  and the blog is like the bent, just 10 mm narrower.
