Pros:
FUN, great turn initiation, surprisingly good edge, light weight, great float
Cons:
Not a speed demon, less burly build - bigger skiers who charge look for the Maverick CTI

Yes
I have always thought of the Bent's as being a bit of noodly ski or for skiers sending it off of cliffs and landing switch. As I made my first turns on the new Bent 100, I realized I was 100% wrong. This ski is the definition of FUN! Much better skiing than I gave it credit for, the Bent 100 was an absolute blast to ski even in just a couple inches of fresh snow.
I loved this ski! To me, this ski would be that perfect ski for a developing or established freeride skier, or a ski dad that wants one ski to bring on trip out west, explore the trees and just have fun. It will make great turns (it IS and Atomic afterall) and it can be mounted in multiple locations to match the skiers intended outcomes and it WILL put a HUGE smile on your face. I would say an Intermediate skier would absolutely love this ski. Someone looking to ski 7/10ths all day who is an Advanced skier would love this also.
