I really love my bacon shortys. They carve groomers well, light enough for park, and are great in any depth of powder in my experience. The only surprise I had with them, is the bases are a bit softer than any of the skis I have previously owned.

They are a very versatile/playful ski. I go everywhere on mine (2013/2014 which is the same as 2014/2015): park, groomers, moguls, powder. etc.

They are a not heavy stiff ski so they are a bit more work in crud and heavy snow, and they aren't as powder oriented as a ski like the opus (but they perform great for knee deep powder... waist deep I would think a powder specific ski would be a bit better).

Blister has a great review of it.

Correction to my above post.

The skis are light and medium flex.
(Meant to say ski was not a heavy stiff ski)
