What ski should I get?

I’m currently skiing on some original pettitors (179cm 147/120/141) which I bought second hand. I’m looking to buy some new skis which are similar maybe a bit narrower underfoot. I’m currently looking at the Atomic Bent Chetler. If anyone’s got some other ideas that would be helpful.

ARVs are a ton of fun and they come in a 116. The bent chetlers are 120 underfoot still. Also the The new volkl bash 116s look super fun.

Why so fat do you only ski pow? Bent Chetlers are a move then. If not I would drop down probably to at least a 108.

Check out ON3P's line up. I have the steeples... they became my dailies pretty quickly. However you are probably looking for something a bit wider.

You typically need more than one to get it done.

Wildcat no questions asked

I also used to ski the Pettitors in a 179. Going from that to the wildcat in a 184 was the best move ever. All that good dampness of the Pettitors but add in some agility and more confidence inspiring chargeyness and you’ve got yourself a good setup
