Hey guys. I’m looking for a new powder/big mountain ski. I recently grew out of my old pair of skis and need advice on a new pair to get. I used to ski on the Eric Pollard pro shorty (Pretty much the same ski as the francis bacons)

Age: 14.5

Height: 5'8

Weight: 120

Difficulty: Intermidiate-Advanced

Flex Preference: all around leaning on the soft side.

I can handle just about any run throughout vail and other colorado resorts.

Keep in mind I’m still growing a ton so i’d prefer to get a ski to big then small.

I’m not exactly a park junky and much prefer big mountain like cliffs and such. My average cliff is around 10 ft but i can go bigger and that average is getting bigger every year because I LOVE EM 3>

Suggestions? Thanks

um depends on if you like to ride switch or not, but the 4frnt hoji sound like a decent option

If he weighs 120, and wants a softer ski, then the Hoji will be overpoweringly stiff.
 
If you want something with a focus on pow and cliffs and that kinda stuff, some to look at would be the Pettitor, Bent Chetler, Patron, Bibby Pro, JJ, Hellbent, etc. Especially Pettitor and Bent Chetler.

What did you like/dislike about the SFB shorty?

I mean they were so great. Super fun and slayed in pow which was what I was looking for. Only dislikes is that they may have been a bit to fat and they weren't the greatest straightlining it. I just want a different ski that's bigger (obviously)

Thanks shadow for the suggestions.
 
Actually guys you have been super helpful and I think I got it from here. I'll come back if I have anymore questions. Thanks again

Although feel free to keep suggesting if your super eager to.
 
Take a look at some line blends 171 or 178 depending on whether how playful you like your skis a little narrower than the sfb
