so im looking to get some powder skis, im on ep's now, which i LOVE, but they are destroyed and i really need something new. so im debating between the opus and the bacon. Its gonna be mostly for powder, but probably a bit of park too. i loved riding my ep's in the park, but not enough to take them over my park skis if im skiing park for the day. they opened up a lot of possibilities, but were still more limiting. if that makes sense.
i do have park specific skis, but it would be cool to have a pow ski that i could use half the time for park. something that skis like a cross between the eps and a park ski.
im just not sure on what the opus skis like compared to the ep. it seems like it could either be very similar or completely different. i know they stiffened it up a bit, which would be ok, as long as its still not a stiff ski, even a medium flex might be too stiff for what i want. but that little bit of extra stiffness, more narrow dimensions, less/better designed early rise, more effective edge, and lighter weight makes it seem like it would be quite a bit better for park.
and i dunno what id do for size with bacons, i rode the original lizzies that were 172 and i loved them in that size. and id be tempted to go with 172 or 178. but 184 would make so much more sense for powder
