Line Sir Francis Bacon Ski description Lines much-venerated, award-hoarding Sir Francis Bacon returns for 2010, adding a new 172cm size and keeping the same do-it-all shape and flex that made it one of Freeskier Magazines Editors Picks. |
Let it snow!!!
Jiles Mcdonough: 
If you want a ski that will float the deepest powder, look no further. I love my Bacons, these skis are amazing for skiing powder and even better for landing in the backcountry. The only thing of warning is that Line calls these a one ski quiver, but from experience they are really not so great on hard pack. I have these paired with Fritschi freeride's so i can always find fresh snow for them. Bottom line is the Bacons make a great powder/backcountry addition to your quiver.

Jeff Kendall:
flexing it with your hand gives you half the story. The shape keeps it on the snow and the damp nature slows the deflection. This holds well, floats well and turns well, without a ton of weight or fear of damage. Making it in a 172 will make it easier for a lot more people to enjoy its versatility

Turns on a dime, floats good, soft enough to launch everything, stiff enough for straightlining. Did fine on every type of snow conditions, including end of day laps through park.
Versatile

Super fun and poppy in all sorts of conditions. As expected with a ski like this, they definitely get tossed a bit while maching through crud, but overall they handle everything with authority. They float nice in the deep stuff, turn on a dime in trees, hold on groomers, and I don't know what it is about them but it's incredibly easy to stomp landings on these, they just set right down effortlessly. Only complaint is that they ski quite short, so 182 being the biggest size is a bit of a setback, 192 and I'd definitely still own these. Also the graphic on the OG bacons was the best ski graphic ever imo
