Hey guys, I'm in the market for a new powder ski. I have pretty great offers on both the Chetler and the Hellbent right now and was wondering which of the two would be better for the heavy snow i get on Mt. Hood. (I would love some Caylors but can't afford them haha) I am more lenient towards the Chetler at the moment. I weigh about 160, and am 5'8. These would be for pow days in the trees, for the most part. Feed me you're opinions and why, i know there are threads similar to this but i wanted to know what would be better for out west, and for someone my size. Thanks!
 
1000% the Chetler. It's an awesome ski, and the Hellbent skis like complete shit in comparison (especially in heavy snow like you'll see).
 
Yep I must agree and say the Chet but have a look at the rocker 122. Pretty much the same but a bit less swing weight but it does not have the new nose shape the Chet does this season.
 
The new tip and tail shape comes out next season. And definitely go Bent Chetler. The hellbents are noodles. Bent Chetler is a lot more versatile. I use it for everything except the days when all there is to do is park. They're stable enough to charge through the roughest conditions and sturdy enough to plow through that wet PNW snow.
 
Sorry yeah that's what I meant. This season is pretty much done sales wise so I'm already into next years gear at this time of year. They also are actually for sale now so he could get them if he wanted.
