Pollard recommends that the bacons be mounted at 1.5 inches (about +3) back from center. He rides switch all day. Thats where i mounted my bacons too.

i say lizzies because they're kind of like an all mountain ski they're fat for pow and soft and versatile for park
plus they have a side park so they have to be able to carve.

that being said they're not actually MENT as an all mountain ski.

bacons if you want it better in pow
elizabeths if you want better in park
personally i think you're big enough for bacons

You're looking for a powder ski, so get the Bacons.

Elizabeth is a park ski.


(but bacons work well in park too)
