Well, they're both part of the same corp so I can't rightfully say fuck Salomon.
But the benchetler is such a more progressive and playful shape. If you ever want to mess with pow buttering or landing switch there's an obvious choice.

If you can get the new bent chetlers you should, because the new horizon tech looks really fun. If you are looking at last years, it doesn't really make a huge difference, I have skied both the old bents and the rocker 2 122 and they are pretty much the same ski.

Hard choic they are not some if the bet pow skis out there. I had rockers for three seasons and they were incredible. really stable but still super buttery. They did not charge two hard but you have the q115 if that is more your style. I foun the old bents les responsive but I have not tried the new bents but I'm going to go for a pair this coming season. If I was you try both and see which you prefer.

Are you constantly drunk? You boost the typos per capita by a lot.

Anyway, I'm on the Bent Chetler band wagon. I've got a pair of 2013's and they are fun to ski just about all the time. I think the new design is mainly marketing, so I wouldn't blow the extra money on them. Bent Chetlers are plenty responsive. Once you get used to them you hardly notice they are on your feet. There really isn't much I haven't skied on them and my only complaint is they suck on ice... like every other ski. But they can go big, go hard, and smear anything you want if you go for it.

I've never heard one bad thing about the Chetlers and everyone I've talked to absolutely loves them - both in pow and ripping all around the mountain.
