2027 Atomic Bent 100 - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review
SkiEssentials · 17 Aug 2026 · 186 cm tested
Reviewed as the 2027 model.
The Atomic Bent 100 returns structurally unchanged with fresh graphics. It remains an intuitive, versatile, and energetic directional twin-tip ski. It thrives off-trail, particularly in trees, bumps, and soft powder thanks to its tapered tips, Horizon Tech 3D profiling, and light wood core. While lacking top-end hard-snow carving edge grip and high-speed stability, it delivers exceptional playfulness, quick agility, and surprising float for a 100mm ski.

Reviewed as the 2027 model.
Reviewers note that the revised Bent 100 gains extra stability and backbone without losing its lively, playful nature. Turn entry is easier and tail release is smoother, accompanied by dependable edge hold and carving ability. However, feedback differs on the tip behavior at velocity, where one tester experienced noticeable tip chatter and flapping on firmer surfaces when skiing beyond moderate paces.
“The biggest leap forward is in stability.” (SkiTalk Test Team)

2027 Blizzard Rustler 10 - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review
SkiEssentials · 17 Aug 2026 · 174 cm tested
Reviewed as the 2027 model.
The Blizzard Rustler 10 is reviewed as a carryover model featuring a TrueBlend wood core and FluxForm metal laminate. It offers an energetic and balanced flex suitable for mixed snow, variable terrain, and soft days. The ski balances strong on-trail carving edge hold with floatation and maneuverability in trees and bumps thanks to prominent tip and tail splay.

Reviewed as the 2027 model.
Testers evaluate the revamped Blizzard Rustler 10 at Mammoth Mountain. The updated design features a modified titanal frame and more tail rocker, resulting in a surfy, playful ride that slashes with ease while inspiring confidence on varied terrain. It provides dependable edge hold and fast stability thanks to underfoot metal, while navigating chop smoothly across the mountain.
“Now surfier than ever with a feel that makes you want to slash” (SkiTalk Test Team)
