just got my first weekend of skiing in on my 2012 bentchetlers. skied groomers and snow 2 weeks old and still had way more fun on them than any other ski ive skied. we made a jump and i learned new tricks i had never been able to do on park skis, and stomped literally all but one thing i tried. a little over kill for that kind of skiing granted, but landing on fat skis in general is a dream. youll love em
