Good ski for the east (better than the EP Pros, at least). At 115 (I believe?) its about the max. size I would go for EC. I like a ski that can whip in the trees, so I would suggest something like the Prophet 100.

I think it would do pretty well. It wouldn't be as good as a blend or kung fujas probably would, but mine are pretty good on groomers and in tight trees. They are one of the best west coast all mountain skis in my opinion, so for typical east coast conditions they'd probably be a bit big.

They are soft, and they don't rock the crud all that well either, so if your snow is like that a lot I don't know if I'd recommend them... If you want a ski for pow days that'll do well on all the rest of the days then this could be good for you. Any amount of fresh and these skis are so much fun. They are sick on groomers too.

Bacon would be perfect for You. Don't be afraid that they are 115 under foot. They are way more maneuverable than more skis with 100 waist. After skiing on SFB I would never go back on "sticks". Handle everything !!! Best ski for one ski quiver. The only thing that in my opinion is missing that it doesn't come in something around 190 cm and for taller skiers it's simply to short to really shred perfectly in powder. Though the most all-round ski and actually the best ski I have been on.
