I get people being picky about topsheets, but bases? Come on...

To the OP, The girls ski is a shorter version as said, while the Bacons are a slightly wider and 10cm longer version of the bacons.

What size are you and what do you plan to use the skis for (park/pow)?

Sorry i dont have a pic but the guy at my local shop pulled out an 09 line brochure.

they are white bases with the bricks from the topsheet but the bricks are without colors just black outline with white fill. and then they say line in that same font from the topsheet.

definitely not as cool as the 08's
and do bases really matter?

i was riding a pair of 09's on saterday. weird flex, like i know its supposed to have a symmetrical flex but the tips where way softer then the tails, they were not really holding up to well either. and im 5'8 so i thought i would ride them fine, but im not gonna lie, sfb are way funnier.
