i bought some Elizabeths for park and just to ski all around on those sucky hardpack days. Im also looking for a powder ski but cant decide between the new Sir francis bacon or mr. pollards opus. this would be my all around powder ski. i would say i do 60% bc kickers and 40% just regular pow skiing. I am 5'9 and 145 lbs (without ski gear on). i like to ski switch and butter.
With the bacons new shape, do you think having both it and an elizabeth would create quiver overlap?
That being said, do you guys think that with my lighter weight, and not being so tall that i would be able to get away with the bacons as far as float is concerned?
Im trying to save weight for the jumps and for hiking and stuff but i also dont want overlap and i want to have ample float. Which should i get?
Ive considered the on3p jeffrey but i have a 176 Vicik and it fits me perfectly so i think the 186 Jeffrey would be a bit too big.
Also feel free to recommend other skis if you think they fit the criteria but im pretty set on either opus or bacon.
thanks
