im looking for a ski that kills it on the whole mountain... i want to be able to take it in the park sometimes and also have it be good in pow... would the shoguns be a good ski?
I am also looking at the bacons but I think they might be a little wide for park

give us your specs, more detail needed

that being said, i like the shogun a lot in a 182, poppy but still stable

damn you are skinny
I think the Shogun would be a really good daily driver in the PNW, it is nimble for being 102? at the waist, and the bamboo core gives it a nice poppieness that is still stable at high speeds.
I would go for the 182 for sure, shorter, with the little rocker, would make it a little squirmy i would imagine

Not 100% on this but I think that the Shogun's tails aren't fully turned up. Dunno why they are that way, but I would imagine that would be shitty for landing switch which would be a deal breaker for me as a ski that you are planning on taking to the park.

I would get 182 cm Bacons. Especially next season's model, super playful with the rocker.
