Alright so my bacons are officially dead and im looking for another pair of skis. Right now I have hellbents at -1 as my pow ski and ar6 as my park skis. My bacons filled that gap as my all mtn./fat park ski pretty nicely but I was thinking about getting another pair of ANTs so I had a ski I could really charge around on. Ive owned a pair and know I love them but wouldn't mind some suggestion of similar skis, maybe a little more jib oriented.  Im 511 160 riding mainly in the summit county/vail pass area.

its probably not the right website but has anyone ridden/know anything about the legend pro XXL. I was thinking the 187 but is that still going to be a bit much in tight trees

Just get another pair of ANTs. Those where the sickest skis I've ever been on. That or check out the 4FRNT VCTs in a 189. I love my 182s.

That's what I was going to post, those both fall in line with what you are looking for.  Maybe some Seth's too.

185 moships, goats, or the news head jimmis would fill the void left by your bacons, they are all stiffer chargin skis, that are great for when there isnt endless powpow.

next year rossi's gonna have the phantom 112- it think it's phantom- but yeah- they're a charger ski with a bit of rocker in the tip- i'd defs check those out. i don't know the lengths but you could prolly get something 185+ that'd still be manageable in the trees AND be able to charge.

there fun, but a big ski with alot of edge power. You can stomp the shit out of pretty much anything with them, but they can be a bit much if your not doing 60+

If you want a big ski that can do the trees try the Big Dumps. Now that's a fun ski. No speedlimit, but still lots of fun in trees.

I had mine mounted right on the line and loved them. I know a guy who has him mounted 2 back and another dude who has his at 3 forward. I'd probably go 2 back or just recommended. I think that mounting it forward of the line is silly.
