they're both about the same fex line is softer but no too much. the seths have more side cut. the bacon's look way better.

the seths have a small rocker in the tips and tails which would be sweet for pow

i see the seth as a much more bomb proof ski than the bacons. the seths are for more of everything, fast ripping lines or soft floaty pow. buttering with them wouldn't be hard but wouldn't be so easy with the SFB's. the bacons though are that super buttery wide ski for only the fluffy stuff. unless you plan on skiing switch and buttering in and out of your turns, go seths. i personally would think teh bacons would be so much more fun

well i don't think i would use it when its bullet proof snow but any other time i would. i guess the seths are the better ski for me but the sfb's look so nice, i'm not saying looks really matter but i want something that i like the look of.

the seths are much more versatile than the SFBs because their waist is 98. they would do more justice on groomers and be easier to ski park with, since they have a lower swing weight.

yeah i understand that. i wont use it the park though. it’s mostly because the seths graphics are so loud that i'm on the fence with this.

true, but do you actually need 115 under foot? and if you do decide to get the SFBs you should check out last years model. the green with the frog and giraffe and shit is so tight looking

179 man, they're gonna be a lot floatyer in the pow, and gonna make going everywhere a lot more fun. The actual difference in swing weight won't be too bad. They're a nice ski with a dope little rocker.

dude the 08 bacons are way sick. i skied on em last season and they are the most fun ive ever on a ski. 115 isnt even that fat, i was skiing trees and riping groomers in no time. and in the pow they are unreal. graphic looks even better in person

i've got anothere ski that i will use on really shitty days and COP(small hill thats half park). depending on what mountain i'm at or who i'm with i'll end up taking a run or two throught the park. when i'm at the mountain i don't go to go in the park very much cuz i got COP at home.
so it would be like 15%-25% park
