going to get a new powder ski and am tossing up between the RMU BLS, Sir Francis Bacon and the Pollard's Opus. Would you guys have any suggestions for other skis or opinions on these skis. Looking for something that can float medium deep powder but can also charge hard on groomers and hold an edge. Will primarily be using in Japan

I use the SFBs as my dailys and love them. They are super fun to rip around and have good float in be pow. If you're looking to mainly slay the Jahpow tho, the SFB is not a be best choice. I'd go snag something a bit wider; maybe a 118-125 waist that can still rip hardpack. The K2 Pettiors are a hella fun ski, 4FRNT Hojis are all mtn huck machines, The Bentchetlers and well yeah they're there, and the magic J/JJ 2.0 are good options. Those are some skis I'd look into personally for Japan or just anywhere in the PNW. Just again, I love the SFBs but you will have more fun on a wider ski out there.

4FRNT YLE is my daily ski. Great in crud and variable conditions and plenty fat for pow. Actually pretty fun on ice too. I haven't tried the others you mentioned so I can't compare.
