We tested the 2013 "Bent-chetler" and "Access" by Atomic...

I'm not really sure what happened here. We came to Japan to powder test the 2013 "Bent Chetler" and "Access" models... We drank some sake and got a little off topic. Nonetheless both these skis exceeded expectations.

Both skis have Atomic's Powder Rocker design, which combines classic camber with a pronounced Rocker Shape at the ski tip (delivering stability and maximum lift in powder snow). Depending on the skier and intended use of the ski, the Bent Chetler offers a more pronounced curve at the tip AND tail (Pop Rocker), whilst the Access is considered a gradual Rocker - which I found perfect being used to the more conventional Active Camber design.

The reviewers; Luke Kneller is an ex-alpine racer turned park-monkey and preferred the Bent Chetler whilst Tim Myers is an ex-alpine racer turned big-mountain skier who preferred the Access. Though it did take Tim and Luke a whole week of swapping skis to finally work that out.
