Product Info
A true quiver crusher for the man whose playground is the entire mountain, the Line Skis Sir Francis Bacon Skis are equally at home hitting kickers in the backcountry as they are laying trenches on the groomed. If your idea of a good day involves spending the morning hunting freshies, afternoons hucking cliffs, and wrapping up the day with some cool down laps on the groomers, then the Bacons are most definitely the skis for you.
Product Details

Early Rise™ – The rise in the tip and tail starts earlier for effortless float and easier turn initiation
Profile – 10 / 5 / 10 mm (Early Rise / Camber / Early Rise)
Flex
Symmetric Flex™ – The same flex pattern ahead of and behind your boot handles terrain equally well riding forward and backwards.
Sidecut
5-Cut™ – 5 different sized sidecut radius shapes are blended into one, for intuitive control and unlimited turn shapes.
Early Taper™ – The widest point of sidecut starts tapering earlier in the tip and tail to reduce tail drag and hooking in powder.

Shape
Thin Tip™ – Super thin core and sidewall in the tips are 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight and tip bounce
Core
Maple Macroblock™ – 2 full length Maple stringers surrounded by Aspen for the best of both worlds
Sidewalls
Sidewall™ – P-Tex plastic walls over the edges absorb vibrations for a smooth & solid feel.

All-Mountain, Powder

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius:
Medium

Turning Radius
Medium 17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.
- Core/Laminates: Wood

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
