With its Powder Rocker and 90mm waist, it floats effortlessly in deep snow while staying playful for side hits and groomers. The Dura Cap Sidewall provides confidence on harder surfaces, making it an all-mountain weapon for young rippers chasing progression. It’s fun, stable, and ready to take on any terrain—just like the full-sized version."Who It’s ForAmbitious Young Skiers Ready for All-Mountain Freeride:This ski is perfect for kids who are progressing quickly and want a freeride setup that feels like the real deal. Best for juniors who already have confidence on groomers and want to explore trees, powder, and natural features. What It’s ForFreeride Progression with All-Mountain Versatility:With a 90mm waist and Powder Rocker profile, the Bent Chetler Mini is built for soft-snow performance while staying agile in variable terrain. It’s just as fun for groomer laps as it is for chasing powder stashes and popping off natural hits.

The Densolite foam core and fiberglass laminates keep it lightweight yet durable, the Powder Rocker makes it float and pivot with ease, and the STAGE 10 bindings add a secure, ready-to-ride finish. It’s a true freeride ski for the next generation.
