Hey NS, I want to replace my 2010 bacons with a ski thats a bit stiffer. I sorta quit following the market this year so I need your help. So NS, please suggest me a ski that is stiffer than bacons, waist >100, regular camber, >175cm. I ski pretty hard and these are going to be used almost exclusively in PNW trees(big trees, moderate spacing). Im 5'8 135lbs.

It would also be great if EVO carried the skis because i have a 440 gift card im looking to burn.

Thanks yall

completely misread that.   line prophets 100s were a fun demo.  I also liked the Liberty Helix.  They have a ton of energy, but might be a little softer than you want because of how they are constructed.

They are 100 underfoot, fairly stiff, and have good flotation.

179 Line Prophet 115.
Stiffer than the Bacon, regular camber, early rise in the tip for that little extra float.

Or some Moment Belafonte. 106 in the waist. early rise in the tip, with regular camber. Again, stiffer than the Bacons.

I got some links for you (on evo.com even to make your life easier)

Belafonte - http://www.evo.com/skis/moment-belafonte-2011.aspx#image=34383.Size.LengthCM_174_Image.jpg
