yeah im thinking of getting bacons or rory's. im pretty sure the rory's will be light knowing ninthward. but does anyone know if the bacons are gonna be heavy or not? they are the same construction and everything as the elizabeths so were the elizabeths light for their size or not? i had 179 maidens and mounted close to true center werent too bad but i dont want anything heavier.

I don't think they're that heavy of a ski but I can't guarantee that

Well all k2s are fairly heavy, and these are one huge set of K2's so i think you can guess.

one huge set of k2's? you mean lines? i know they arent gonna be light, they are huge skis, i liked my maidens weight, bacons are the same length, and a little bit wider, so im guessing they are about the same, but i really wanna be sure.

no they are not the same length (182 vs 189 maden), they will be light for there size, but are not going to be as light as a park ski.

no i had 179, but k2 measures their pow skis differently so the 179's are actually around 183

Feeling how heavy elizabeths are.. I doubt the bacon will be much heavier. What bindings are you planning on using?

I wouldn't recommend that. the p12/p14's heel pattern is very close together and on a soft ski like the Bacon, you have a good chance of ripping it out... compared to say a 4frnt or an FKS or salomon or PX... but I would only recommend the 4frnt.
