they make my ar6s look like mogul skis. So great. The guy at the shop was like "are you here to pick up your water skis?" He couldn't imagine being able to turn them. I couldn't imagine him being a good skier ;)

A review to come

We need pics dude...and someone said they soften up after a few days? Cause I rode a pair for like 2 runs, but I think the guy had only had them out maybe 2-3 times, and they didn't seem like they were as soft as everyone is saying they are, but I've never been able to throw my weight around and butter that well, so who know?

I will get some pics up before the end of the season for sure, but my camera/computer combo isn't functioning right now.

I mounted them +2 from the recommended mark. Not quite center mounted, but almost. To the guy two or three up who asked about the softness: they are very soft, like fujative soft. However, I was cutting up the ice/slush like it was my job last night. I don't care where you live: get a pair. (I should be a spokesperson for Line or something I am promoting these things so much). But seriously, funnest ski ever. I would not want to ride them, however, on a day where I was tired or my legs were a bit weary. However, the butter-ability of these puppies... yowza

i agree man. I skied the next years lizzies at stratton and i was so pumped i was promoting the ski like woah. I would def go longer wit the bacons. Sick skis for sure. The sidecut is so insane at like a 19. Everyone should at least try em

I was out-carving every one of my friends on the groomers. They are sick everywhere except moguls. In the park they are obviously slow, but it was like landing with a parachute, I swear

I guess you guys don't enjoy reading previous posts. I said my camera/computer isn't functioning right now and that I would try to get them up at some point. However, with teaching full time, planning a wedding and doing lots of extracurricular activities, getting pictures of my skis for a bunch of strangers on the internet who just want to look at ski equipment porn doesn't seem high on my priority list.

Nope, not similar at all, Bacons are for jibbing in untouched pow and are designed to ride like a snowboard(super short turn radius), the Rossi's are alot stiffer and don't have the sidecut the Bacons do, more for charging the steeps.
