Bacons or Blends?

SO! I have my choice between any Line ski for a really, really good price... I already have some Armada AR6s (for park) so the Anthem or Chronics are out. I've narrowed it down to either the Bacons or the Blends. BUT if theres another ski that Line makes that will absolutely change my life, then please mention it!

I'm 5'11" 160 lbs and a very good and advanced skier.

I'm looking for a good all around ski but something that performs better in the pow is a plus.
 
Oh, also I will be going for the occasional park lap (mostly jumps) with these so something that doesn't suck in the park or on groomers would be nice. Thanks +++K
 
i'm pretty sure the question is about line and only line...

i'd say bacons. its a stronger contrast from what you already have. i absolutely love my blends, as in the best ski i've ever skied, in any conditions but the deepest of deep, but overall, love them. bacons are gonna be better in pow but still kill it everywhere, occasional park lap included
 
I have the Elizabeths as well actually, and unfortunately I cant get Surface... my deal is only for Line.
 
bacons are way awesome. the shred all terrain and are awesome for pow. but since you have the park/most all mountain covered, maybe check out the ep pro. they're a different animal when it comes to skiing pow. i absolutely love mine.
i'd pretty much completely eliminate blends. they're awesome all mountain skis, but i use mine for park. you already have that covered. you may as well get something gnarly. i say bacons at the very least. maybe even spring for the ep's or motherships if you like a stiff charger.
 
Go with the bacons if you want a all mountain powder jib ski, if you want a ski for big mountain charging go with the motherships, if you want a ski for powder and nothing but powder go with the EP pros. EP pros are too noodly for anything other than fresh pow in my opinion.
 
go with the bacons, youll love them. and youll get used to the extra 15 mm underfoot real fast and loveeee it. bacons are so dope.
 
Thanks guys I really appreciate all the advice! Just wondering, does anyone know if the Bacons would skin well and be good for touring?
 
i toured with my ep's and it wasn't too bad. bacon's would definitely work. my friend toured utah with bacons all last winter and he didn't seem to have a problem.
 
Wicked! Thanks guys for all the help, im gonna check the skis out in person this weekend and go from there. Leaning more towards The Bacons right now...
