Product Info
For 2016, the addition of a fourth ski to Line's freeride lineup has led to some tweaks and upgrades to the ubiquitous Sir Francis Bacon. The Line Skis Sir Francis Bacon Skis have emerged from the lab with a slightly slimmed down profile and a crazy light Cloud Core™ of vertically laminated balsa and flax fibers. Having lost weight, the Line Skis Sir Francis Bacon Skis are in the best shape of their lives, with an even more playful and nimble feel than before, yet still managing to maintain their effortless float when the going gets deep. A true all-mountain, all-conditions weapon, the redesigned Sir Francis Bacons quite simply make any type of skiing a whole lot more fun!

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Big Mountain

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. Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail.
- Skis: No Bindings

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

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: Balsa, Flax

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.
