Hey everyone, I’m looking to pick up some bent chetler 120’s but if I wait a few more months will they go on sale? I know the previous model of line skis usually go on sale around May on Evo. Anyone know if a similar thing happens with atomic in which case I should wait?

on sale they are 3-400, insane deals.

chets are super stable for their weight, but.. very light, so not all that stable vs others, but still very good for what they are.

I wouldn't count on any 120's making it to sale season (which online starts april 1st once MAP retail policies expire for the season). We re-ordered them twice this season at my shop and only have 1 pair left already. That ski is one of the most desirable I've ever seen, along with the 100

The older models were wayyyy more stable but almost 500g heavier (obviously why they were more stable).

You gotta figure out if you want a harder charger with more weight (older core) or a lighter touring set up (new core). I’ve heard indifferent things about how easily the new ones get thrown around in crud/variable compared to the older core.

my 2015’s were amazing - soft enough to butter, quick in trees, but after a long powder day, my legs were feeling it.

This info on MAP is super helpful. I'm on the lookout for some new skis from this year and I've only seen them ever so slightly discounted as of yet. I'll keep a lookout for some price drops in April.

You can hope there are some leftover for the end of year sale, but I wouldent count on it.

I am an end of season ski sale kind of guy and I will always have some skis in mind I would like to get, but usually end up with something else. So what do you care about more? saving a couple $100 or getting the exact ski you want? seldom do you get both.

Mutually Agreed Pricing? Just judging from the context and my almost nonexistent knowledge of retail the shops have agreements with manufacturers setting minimums for pricing for a given period of time.

Minimum Advertised Price. The reason some online retailers say “lowest price can only be seen after adding to cart.”



I’m actually in the market for the 120’s too but going to cross my fingers and hope they drop from $750
