East coaster here looking at potentially getting one day at hood meadows on Monday, but I probably can't bring my bacons from home. Do any shops out there carry 'em for rentals or am I gonna have to go find some turkey bacon? ....it's never the same

You can probably demo from a ski shop in Portland. Try US outdoor or evo, prolly US outdoor will hook you up tho.
Timberline also demos them, (I think) so do what you want with that info...

I'm pretty sure that the demo shop at meadows carries line, but I'm not 100% sure. If not, they definitely carry some similar skis. If it has to be bacons I would second freewillie's list of shops to try, but as far as I know the evo Portland store is sold out of most lines, and u.s. outdoor I think only has smaller sizes of the bacon left.

Hope you have fun at Meadows, it's an awesome place.

I am pretty sure meadows has them as a demo ski call em though. Definitely carry a puck of yellow wax around with you because the snow has been wet and sticky.

I just got home from night skiing and the snow isn't actually that bad, it was surprisingly fast.

I don't think the shop demos bacons but there are definitely skis that are similar.

I was up for night skiing Wednesday night with my school the snows nice fast and soft but on Sunday the 7th when I went up there the snow was super grabby on groom and you would litteraly stop if you went of the trail (this was on cascade).
