What I posted in other thread from link:
They will be fine for you. I rode them (last years, 07/08 model) last
season a decent amount and they are a very sick ski. If you want a one
ski quiver (and like soft skis) these are for you, no doubt. I'm 5'9
150 lbs. and had them mounted at like -1 or -2 with Jesters.
Park: they work fine (not as good as Anthems but not half bad), I
didn't take them on big stuff or spin more than some 3's but they are a
blast, also didn't take them on rails cause they were my only fat ski
for pow. Learned butter 3's on them.
Groomers: Very very good, even for being this big, they have a massive
sidecut so they are very turny. Don't hesitate to ski them anywhere.
Deep pow (3 feet+): Very good, I mean they are 115 underfoot, they
float great. Good for cliffs, I only did 15 foot or less ones though,
so I can't vouch for big ones.
*note* There was a small amount of tip dive sometimes because I mounted
them close to center, but that's cool cause I use them as an all mtn.
tool and got Donner Party's this year for my pow needs.
Glades with pow: very sick due to sidecut, they turn on a dime and don't feel as big as they are.
I would consider these an all mtn./pow ski, that can also ride park
fine, but there are better skis for park. I think you would have a lot
of fun on these skis. I skied them in the PNW pow, and in some really
light pow the one time last year that we had it. I consider these
skis an in-between ski, like something you get if you already have a
park/groomer ski (something like 80-95 underfoot), and you already
have, or are going to get a 100% pow ski such as Donner Party's, ARG's,
or any other really fat ski with rocker and hopefully reverse sidecut.

1. Will I be able to handle the bacons being my size (5'10, 140 pounds, pretty damn aggressive)?
Yes
2. What are the bacons like compared to the lizzies(ie flex, weight, etc.)?
Same but longer/wider/heavier
3. Are bacons at least manageable in moguls?
No, I wouldn't do that, not fun at all, a massive pain in the ass, the waist is just too big
4. Are bacons somewhat usable in the park?
Definitely, very legit in park
5. Are the bacons a larger version of the lizzies?
Yes
