Collector’s Edition Powder Slayer: Atomic Bent 110 x Grateful Dead Is Here
When you look at freeskiing, it’s all about flow. It’s about reading the terrain. Furthermore, it’s about that one-of-a-kind, improvisational moment when you are completely dialed into the mountain. This philosophy perfectly mirrors the legendary vibe of the Grateful Dead. Now, that spirit has been immortalized on a pair of skis built for exactly that: the Limited Edition Atomic Bent 110 Grateful Dead skis.
This isn't just a gear drop; it’s a cultural event. The collaboration once again pairs Atomic with freeskiing visionary and artist Chris Benchetler, the man behind the Bent series. The resulting ski is a masterpiece designed to turn the entire mountain into your personal jam session.
A Riff on the Bent Lineage
The canvas for this killer art is the Atomic Bent 110. It’s already a staple in the quivers of core riders and a frequent feature in TGR films. Why? The Bent 110 is the ultimate blend of flotation and maneuverability. Specifically, its 110mm waist provides incredible lift in deep conditions. However, the ski remains nimble enough to navigate tight trees and tricky terrain.
Benchetler’s HRZN Tech Tip and Tail gives the ski a signature surfboard-like scoop. This shape maximizes surface area without adding weight. It means less deflection and more buttery smoothness, whether you’re slashing powder turns or lining up a natural feature. Ultimately, the Atomic Grateful Dead Skis are a pure, all-mountain freeski ready for anything the season can dish out.
