i got the elizabeths 1st because they were cheaper and 2nd because the bacon is like 10 cm longer so i think that the elizabeth would be better on the east because its shorter but i don't know too much about how the bacon skis

i know that. my sarcasm was meant to show i'm already an idiot for skiing pocket rockets in the east - so i might as well go even further in that direction and get the bacon's!

what's the point? Just get a more sensible ski with your money. Why buy something that isn't going to work.

Every ski works! It's all about how, where, and why you use it!

^exactly. its not wasting your money to buy a big mountain ski for the small skiing in the east- its just a different way to do things. and i can still rip ice on my pocket rockets (but i do have to have edges sharp enough grinding a rail becomes damn near impossible.

For sure. I'm getting them. I want something big, fat, flexy, fun, jiby....the ski is super fun. Just what I'm looking for. I'll have ar5's for park, and maybe even another stick or two if I can get some deals. All what you're looking for.

for real man, im thinkin of gettin a pair even tho i live in MN, skiing isnt about restrictions and what you 'cant ride here, or should ride instead' thats not what these skis are about, thats not what skiings about!!! its a revolutionary ski, designed by a rider ahead of his time, i want to be a part of it.

thats stupid. just buy a skinnier ski, i dont see why youd want your skis to be heavier and more cumbersome and be good only a couple days out of the season tops

nah, you should ski Prophet 130's or lotus 138's on the EC instead, I hear they rip the park way better than the Bacons. More surface area=better grip on ice.

It just makes little sense to get the Bacon for the EC. Sure they have a good turn radius, but they are much more weight than you need. I am almost tempted because they seem so fun, but the Bacon would definitely not be a one ski quiver. Go with a well rounded ski like the foil, karma, ar6, scratch fs, PE, chronic etc. There are tons of better options
