Having shaped the future of skiing for over 70 years, today Atomic introduces the limited edition Bent 110 GFD, a ski born at the intersection of music, art, and sport. Designed in collaboration with Atomic athlete and artist Chris Benchetler, and featuring original artwork inspired by the Grateful Dead, the Bent 110 GFD launches in coordination with Benchetler’s multi-year film project, Mountains of the Moon, premiering soon.
This unique release also coincides with the 60th Anniversary of the Grateful Dead, whose music and culture have long been part of the rhythm of ski life. The Bent 110 GFD features the special GD60 logo and vibrant, psychedelic graphics created by Benchetler himself, reminiscent of vintage album covers and the Dead’s timeless visual legacy.
From ski towns to backcountry bootpacks, the Grateful Dead’s music has echoed through the mountains for decades. Their ethos of freedom, improvisation, and a deep connection to the natural world directly mirrors the spirit of freeskiing. Long, flowing jams match the experience of descending the mountain, adapting in the moment and finding a groove. As Benchetler puts it, “that spirit lives in every arc of this ski.”
This marks the third creative collaboration between Atomic and the Grateful Dead. The journey began in 2019 with the Bent 120 GFD, released alongside Benchetler’s Fire On The Mountain film, followed by the Bent 100 GFD in a broader release. Now, the Bent 110 GFD continues this legacy as it launches in anticipation of Mountains of the Moon.
Built with the same construction and materials as the acclaimed Bent 110, the Bent 110 GFD delivers the same all-mountain versatility, surfy playfulness, and creative flex that define the entire Bent Family. From deep powder days to variable resort conditions, the Bent 110 GFD performs with confidence and ease, mirroring the fluidity and freedom of the music that inspired it. Like every ski in the Bent lineup, it’s designed to encourage spontaneous lines, expressive skiing, and to flow across any terrain.
The limited edition Atomic Bent 110 GFD will be available at select retailers and on atomic.com starting today.
