Hi, I will be doing a season in japan this year! I'm planning on bringing my jeff110 w/cast (daily driver) I currently have another pair of pivots with 2nd cast kit in hand and now considering a dedicated pow ski I would be using in the PNW after. I like both but don't know witch one I should get.
 
They are not very similar actually. The Whitewalker is a much more capable all around ski than the bent 120. I believe its significantly more stiff than the Bent. Maybe check out the 4 frnt inthayne. I've never skied it but it seems like a perfect freestyle powder ski.
 
Whitewalkers are much more chargy and stiff in the tip whereas the Bent 120 is a lot more playful tip and tail.
 
I have a buddy who daily drives his whitewalkers up at alpental and they rip. You’d probably have a (very slightly) better pow experience on the bents but if I were choosing between the 2 in your situation I’d go for the wws. I feel like a slightly chargier pow ski works better in the pnw as it will give you much more confidence in super dense cascade concrete and in afternoon packed pow. Have fun in Japan!
 
Just replaced my Bent 120 with the WW116, which i rode in st anton Arlberg these past 8 days

WW stiff under foot, but super soft in the tips n tails, suits me way better than the BC120

BC120 has a more gradual flex n feels a bit more stable on larger cliff landings

WW a bit chargier n dosent get deflected as much (more mass underfoot), also still feels good when snow isnt fresh

For pow only id go BC120, but the trips im going on, the WW116 will forsure be my go to
