Would This Be Viable?

[Bamski]

I'm looking for a one ski quiver, and the Sir Francis Bacon's seem like an awesome ski (And the Prophet 100's)

I'm 5'10, about 175 lbs. I live on the west coast and do the majority of my skiing at Whistler. All I want is a nice fun ski that I can take anywhere. I ski park but this would be more of a "I feel like doing a lap or two in the park then skiing some trees then going up to the pow fields and charging like a mad man."

Any suggestions would be awesome.

well if u are lookin at the prophet 100, and the bacons (not 2 sure by r description)
but it really depends what u mean by chargin? like super fast wide open the prophet will excel more, but the shorter quicker turns (trees, pillows) the bacon will do better...since ur kinda on the heavy side for bacons it would be good to know what u do the majority of

super fast and open
or short and quick

 

[Bamski]

I probably spend more time in the deep open bowls than in the trees, but i do laps in the park between runs.

 

[Bamski]

Oh and if I'm a little big for SFB's, what size of Prophets should I be looking at?

 

[wrenegade]

Bacons would be good. Quite good. Scratch Steezes be good too. Prophet 100 is also a decent choice, but on some days you might be wishing you had something a little fatter.

I'd decide between the Bacons and the Steezes, and make the decision on whether or not you like a soft (Bacon) or stiffer (Steeze) ski.

 

[Bamski]

Alright, thanks for that help.

I'm worried about having a noodle, I do like to charge down hills from time to time, or sometimes take it nice and slow and enjoy the turns.

I also want to have a semi-viable park ski, something to take over some small booters and maybe do the odd rail or two.

If i were you i would definetly be lookin into the new seths. I think those would be perfect.

prophet 100's in 186 length if you wanted to stick to prophets or bacons

 

[b-kul]

be a man and get hell bents.

 

[jack.whelan]

how about a pair of 186 liberty helix's? pretty light, super versatile and 107 under foot...

i have a pair if you're in terested...

p.s. that was not a sales pitch. well, slightly...

 

[Bamski]

I was considering getting some 'bents but they seem so one dimensional.

 

[Klick_2_klaim]

haha pow fields. awesome.

sounds like a novel idea to me bud.

 

[Bamski]

Hehe, yeah pow fields. Whistler ftw?

 

[tSki]

bacons dont really charge

 

[nickwm21]

the prophet 100 186 will do it all... from what I hear. Soon ill be picking up a pair to replace my scratch bcs

 

[Clifford996]

so you decided on the prophet i see.... that will be SICK! im happy we have the same size boot nick ahah

 

[Klick_2_klaim]

no, FTL!!!

 

[Bamski]

What about something like the 08/09 Blends? Apparently they're fatter, looks like a really nice combo of what I'm looking for.

 

[MoistAbode]

i second that

 

[Bamski]

Moving on to something a little more balanced, how would 181 MSP's perform? I'd like something light keep in mind.
