so i had bought a pair of bentchetlers on a good deal but as having second thoughts now and im thinking im going to return them.

i ski a lot of side hits, tree stuff, and some cliffs in BC and Alberta as well as some park, not a lot of rails tho.
for reference i am 17, 5 11” and 140 pounds
thinking maybe rekoner 102s or jefferys would be good??
sorry ive made like 3 threads about skis this year

I think we're all here to make and read threads about skis, nothing to be sorry about IMO

Honestly since you’re light, a Vishnu wide plus would be pretty fun for what you’re wanting, and you could get the 189s if you’re concerned about them being too soft.

not really a tree ski though, and they’re symmetrical (I would still set -1cm back still though for your use)

A lot of people like the nomad 105s aswell, I’ve seen people on ig tearing it in the park with the lite version of those.

I think the Jeff 102 or 108 would be a good option if you want a more solid ski on landings

not realllly sure about the reckoner 102, I don’t think it necessarily has that much rocker so jumping cliffs into pow might not be that fun on em.

idk just my 2 cents

If you’re considering on3p which is pricy, then I think you should def look at moment skis if you haven’t.

Moment death wish 104
Moment wild cat 101 and 108



The 104s topsheet is ogasmic too so that’s a plus

Corbett’s deals are stupid good, I agree but Skiburger.com . It’s moment blems, samples, and old stock

It’s a really solid ski from what I hear. I would probably cop if I had less skis and less 102s

Bents are fine honestly there is nothing wrong with their performance but moments are cooler.

I know it’s a meme right now but it also sounds like u make the whole mountain your playground. It might not be a bad call.

Jeffery102 would be the perfect ski to me. It will handle anything and everything without breaking, and is one of the most naturally predictable skis I've ever ridden.
