Elizabeth or sir francis bacon

[slottyboom]

okay i ski sunshine village in AB

and was wondering if i should get the sir francis bacon

or elizabeth

i ski alot of soft fresh snow

and will do alot of bc jumps 

and some park on them

i am 6 foot 2 and 155pounds

 

[wev-skis]

idk i have elizabeths and i like them alot

but you are pretty tall so bacons would b better fitting

 

[wev-skis]

there both good skis either way

 

[slottyboom]

okay 

would you know aobut if i mounted sfb like 2 cm back and what it would be like?

 

[wev-skis]

umm i dont really know about that

it depends on how u ride and how much

 

[ShreddingthaGnar]

Pollard recommends that the bacons be mounted at 1.5 inches (about +3) back from center. He rides switch all day. Thats where i mounted my bacons too.

 

[solitaryman]

i say lizzies because they're kind of like an all mountain ski they're fat for pow and soft and versatile for park

plus they have a side park so they have to be able to carve.

that being said they're not actually MENT as an all mountain ski.

 

[slottyboom]

how are they?

 

[japollner]

Bacons, 2cm back from center...

 

[Fish_Sandwich.]

I'm coppin a pair of Bacons.

 

[SteevJee]

id go with the lizzies more versatile.

 

[FNJ]

bacons if you want it better in pow

elizabeths if you want better in park

personally i think you're big enough for bacons

 

[iggyskier]

you are 6'2".....is this really a question? SFB for sure

 

[buchanan.]

^ yeah, no question, go for the bacons. i just saw the bacons for the first time today, they reeeaaaalllly dont look like a 182, they were like the same length as my 179 seths.

 

[K2skipunk]

sfb, maybe even EP Pro

You're looking for a powder ski, so get the Bacons.

Elizabeth is a park ski.

(but bacons work well in park too)
