Narrowed down my options to these two skis. Would love opinions/thoughts from anyone who’s ski’d either (or older Bent chetlers 100/120s).

I’ll be skiing them all over CO and MT and really like a wider daily ski that is soft and playful in the tips and tails and good when there’s powder. Thanks in advance for the input!

Bent 110 is super light and pretty soft which IMO is not a great combo. I skied it and it’s great in pow but any time things got chopped up or hard it struggled to ski at any sort of speed. Reck 112 is the stiffest of the 3 Reckoners (I think) and it’s much more capable (in turns of versatility) than the Bent. I think the Bent is a good quiver ski but I know I wouldn’t use it as a daily driver.

I daily the Reckoner 112s and can confirm they are the stiffest of the series. Pretty versatile ski, would recommend.

Great to hear, are you able to still get good bend outta the tips/tails?

Definitely. They're not really that stiff. Just stiffer than the others by a small margin. Pretty easy to smear around and bend.
