I am debating between the new JJ and the new Bent Chelters. I am looking for a ski that rides the Colorado mountains like a dream. Skiing trees, crud, bumps and of course powder with ease. I am 5'10 160 and would go with about a 185cm. Let me know if you have any experiance with these skis!

If it's between the JJs and Bent Chetlers, get the JJs if you want a maneuverable agile ski that is at home in trees and bumps, get the Bent Chetlers if you want a playful ski to slay deep pow and huck big cliffs.

Don't buy JJs. And Bentchetlers are wider than what you're looking for. You have lots of other options though.

Sounds like you may be looking for a directional pow ski.. I would recommend the 186 atomic automatic... 117mm underfoot. I'm actually selling a brand new 13/14 pair.

I wa going to recomend that exact ski op. They are so good I was riding. Pair as my all mnt ski as well as pow as they carve so well. You can fly around the groomers on them they are grey I the trees and when it's deep you just let that nose sit up. Great skis. Would suit the op perfectly.
