if you aren't gonna use these for park at all just shredding the mountain get EP pros, you wont be disappointed. if you are too short to want a 186 or whatever they are though the lizzies are dope as hell too.

The EPs are rockered and shit though dude.. they ski more like the lizzies with a little bit more stability and infinite float in the pow from what I understand.
You could go with the Bacons.. they are a little long, but if you charge, you could use them..
Personally, if I were you I'd go with the lizzies... depending where you're from of course, but the rule almost anywhere.. (they just arent really happy in crud/hard conditions.)

Sack up.
The EPs don't seem like a 186, because of the rocker they ski a lot shorter than that, they pivot and smear turns like whoa.
Mount 'em center and forget about it. They are awesome.

It doesn't matter how sick someone else thinks the EP Pros are. He is asking for a general all mountain ski. The thread is titled "Elizabeth or Bacon". I think we should give feedback for that.
In my opinion, you would have a lot of fun on either ski depending on what kind of skiing you want to do. The EP Pro is not going to be as versatile a ski just because it is so damn big and has a rocker. Not an everyday ski.

I didn't really like my bacons that much, elizabeths were the shit though. I'm gonna give EP's a try next year.
Bacons just felt clunky and sluggish.

Bacons are the shit. They're just a larger Elizabeth. I have them centermounted and use them as my park ski.

Bacons, end of story.
I ski mine all over, not a ton of park but they are ok in park.
They slay big mtn. cliffs, pow and all that shit and on groomers they rip, switch too, and turn well due to the sidecut. I mounted mine -2 from true center (+2 from rec). I'm 5'9 145 lbs. and I love em.

Center is 6cm in front of the midsole mark. Tape measures don't lie.
