so i wanna get the line sir francis bacon for going to college at U of U but should i go wider if i wanna ski at alta or snowbird? like possibly line opus or jj's or bentchetlers? or something in between them like a billy goat? I decided on the sir francis bacon when i thought i was going to vermont but utah gets more snow and im pretty sure im going there now after really doing a lot more research.

i will ski some park out there cus i got into that when the rest of the mountain got to be easy and boring cus my mountain has a 600ft vertical lol but when im out there i wanna ski a lot of pow and cliffs and trees but mostly in bounds stuff, i will wander off some but for the beggining at least stay in bounds just do trees pow and cliffs in bounds and challenging steeps and stuff.

The Bacons will preform really good anywhere. They'll be better on hard pack and crud. I don't know much about the other skis... Sorry.

They'll float really well. But if I was you I'd go Line Opus such a nice looking ski

Maybe a touch at snowbird, but nothing at Alta.  My two favorite resorts by far though!!!

i skied some park in pa but what i really wanna do is do actual skiing like hard challlenging terrain that s why i was leaning towards them cus from what i hear they got best terrain  and yea i was jus gonna do the little bit of park that snowbird had prolly but i was jus saying that to justify my reasons for having my chronic cryptos cus they will sink in pow but do work on groomers and park.  so yea forget i said that really cus i was jus asking about what skis i should get for alta and snowbird. and really that whole area.
