So I am looking for a 60/40 All Mountain and Park Ski. I am torn between the Sir Francis Bacon and the Blend. I can get either one for around the same price. I have the afterbang and I also have the Opus. I am just wondering out of the two (Blend and Sir Francis) which to get and in what size. I am a Type III Skier and I am 5'8 180. Just looking for a fun ski to make the whole mountain a park and while I am in the park being able to shred. Thanks Guys and all always +K.

I'd go with blends based on your current quiver. Opus is a deep pow ski, and afterbangs are a park ski. I think an all mountain ski would fit in there better than a big mountain stick. You should also check out the rossi scimitar and sickle, they are getting rave reviews, a bit more damp (full slight u rocker) and stiffer than the lines, but both are awesome skis that can kill all over the mountain. Last years models are also on sale right now at EVO for nothing! Like $275 for a pair of scimitars, such a steal.
