Hey everyone,
Looking into getting some new skis for this season, I ski in the rockies in Alberta and BC so largely powder and groomed. Do a little park, thinking about doing some more. I was looking at the Sir francis bacon's and they look like a good ski for me, wonder how long I should get them or if I should consider something else? (Love line as a brand) I'm 5'10 and 175lbs thanks!

bacons sound like theyd do well. and if you dont abuse them they should last quite a while.

Id say the 178 or 184. Depending on whether how playful you want the ski. If you want it more playful get the 178.

Not just a shameless plug, but consider the Batalla All Mtns.. Decent price. Amazing ski. Not had this much fun on a ski shredding everyhwere as I have with that ski in a long time.

Thanks for the replies, blends also look like a good pair of planks? A little lighter than the bacons if I was doing some more park this season.. Also any mounting suggestions?
