i have been on edge thinking about how bad i want to ski for the past few weeks! cant stop thinking about a new pair of skis... i have come down to Line Sir Franicis Bacon. is this a good choice? i know they're known more for being a powder ski... is this true. any other suggestions would be great. also i cant decide on a size i consider myself a damn good backcountry skier and a moderate park skier.. help me out here!

Yea, SFBs are sweet. you also might consider something a little thinner, such as the rossignol S3 or the ON3P jeronimo. But the SFBs are super sick skis.

Blue Steele or Jeronimo. The Blue Steeles just amazing for park, but not the best for those really deep days. Jeronimo can do it all.
