Wondering if anyone can help... I'm 6 feet tall, 160lbs and a very strong skier. Looking between the Moment Night Trains, Bibby Pros, Atomic Bentchetlers or 4frnt CRJs for a pow/big mountain ski. I ski in the pnw, like to backcountry jib (booters, pillows, etc) but I also like to rip hard on groomers (racing background) and shred steep lines.

Basically looking for something thats gonna be great in pow, pretty light, not too stiff and super fun. But wont suck on the groom runs back or an end of the day park lap. Thanks! ++K
 
The BentChetlers are super sick. They are definetly a ski that is meant to be charged hard and fast. And even though they are quite large, they are still super playful.
 
I ride the bent chetlers too, LOVE THEM! Have no complaints other than when you air fairly big cliffs the skis can wheelie due to the rocker. Depending on where you mount the skis and your riding style I imagine you can eliminate this problem. Another problem I had was that there was a metal tip protector on the tip and tail of the ski and that came off of the ski pretty dang quick. This exposed the wood core and as everyone knows you don't want water in your wood core. Atomic was cool though and warrantied them so it was no biggie.
Overall: Love the skis, have them mounted with jesters.
Cheers and good luck trying to find your ski.
 
thanks guys! yeah i had the chance to demo them for a few hours in the spring, thought they were pretty damn sick but i just wanted to see some other opinions out there (seeing as i only got to ride them for about 2 hours)
