for pure powder opus over bacon if u go with Line. playful still, but you get more float out of the opus.
jj is light, nimble, and very easy to turn. a solid option. for u i would say the 185.
jefferys are strong and chargy, but will be narrower than the other two. u may look at 181 caylors as well.

181 Caylors would be a good option, better than the jefferies. You could also look into the 191 lite version, which is longer and softer

why have you crossed out the JJ's? they're super fun for trees and damn stable when dropping stuff

A 192 Bent Chetler sounds like it would be a pretty good match. I would look into that ski, or the 191 caylor, or the 195 AK JJ, or maybe like a 189 Klint Krypto. A 192 Salomon Rocker 2 would be nice as well.

The opus going to be your best option if you looking to ski pow and have a playful ski thats you can huck cliffs and stay on top of the snow. I would go no higher than a 183

get those. You won't get a better deal than that if they are in one piece. Presumably its the 185 you are talking about which will be fine for you. I ride Bacons and the float isn't all that great.

If you wanna start landing switch and popping off some natural features then go with the Opus. 2 of my friends have them and say they kill when it comes to all that stuff. Only thing is apparently they don't float as well as other pow skis but I dunno cause I've never actually ridden a pair myself
