What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"The Bent Chetler Mini is the perfect ski for kids who want to start riding like the big kids. It’s light and easy to handle, but the 90mm waist and rocker profile give it surprising float and playfulness. The cap construction keeps them durable for more than one season, and the sintered base means they glide just like adult skis. It’s an awesome confidence builder for juniors chasing powder or park laps."Who It’s ForYoung Skiers Progressing into All-Mountain and Freeride:The Bent Chetler Mini is designed for adventurous kids who are outgrowing entry-level skis and ready for a tool that can explore groomers, powder, and even terrain park features. Best for skiers who already know how to link turns and want to push into more varied terrain. What It’s ForAll-Mountain Play with Freeride Personality:With its 90mm waist and Powder Rocker profile, the Bent Chetler Mini is versatile across snow conditions. It carves groomers with camber underfoot, pivots easily with rocker in the tip and tail, and floats better than most junior skis in soft snow. Why We Like ItBig-Ski DNA in a Kid-Friendly Package:We like the Bent Chetler Mini because it delivers the same playful design cues as the adult Bent series but scaled down for younger skiers. The lightweight Densolite core keeps swing weight low, fiberglass laminates add stability, and the Dura Cap Sidewall construction improves durability. It’s a junior ski that feels legit—not watered down.
