Any chance someone could help me make a little decision. I was originally planning on getting the Line Sir Francis Bacons but have just found a 45% discount for liberty skis. So now I'm stuck decided between the two skis.

Line Sir Francis Bacon or Liberty Helix

What kind of skiing do you do? How tall are you? Weight?

I haven't skied the Helix, but I was just looking it it, it looks like a solid ski, plus has a early rise on the nose.

The SFB in my opinion is soft, very playful, and does kill it.
Yet it could be too short at 182 if your a taller fella. Where as the Helix goes to 187.

So, with that being said, see first sentence.
