Product Info
Do you find yourself hanging with the older kids at the mountain most of the time, skiing bigger lines and chasing deeper turns? Then the Line Skis Sir Francis Bacon Shorty Skis are for you. A scaled down (but certainly not watered down) version of the full sized Bacon, the Bacon Shorty is designed to give fearless groms and young adults more confidence in deep snow. Line's Fatty Base and Edge™ make sure that the ski can take some abuse, meaning it just might become the only hand me down that the little brother gets excited about.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Early Rise™ – The rise in the tip and tail starts earlier, resulting in easy turn initiation and effortless float in soft snow.
Rocker Profile – 6 / 1 / 6 mm (Early Rise / Camber / Early Rise)
Flex
Symmetric Flex™ – The same flex pattern in front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward & backwards.
Sidecut
5-Cut™ – 5 different sized sidecut radius shapes are blended into one, for intuitive control and unlimited turn shapes.
Sidecut Average – 14.0 m
Shape
Early Taper™ – The widest point of sidecut starts tapering earlier in the tip and tail to reduce tail drag and hooking in powder.
Core
Aspen Macroblock™ – 100% Aspen for the lightest, most nimble feel.
Laminates
4D Fibercap™ – 4-directions of fiberglass reinforcement around the core for durability and a super light & responsive feel.
Base
Fatty Base™ – 30% thicker base; 1.7mm thick base dramatically increases durability & tuning life.
Extruded Base
Edges
Fatty Edge™ – 30% thicker edges; 2mm wide x 2.5mm high for better rail resistance and tuning.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Big Mountain, Powder

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level:

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius:
Short

Turning Radius
Short < 16 m radius is best for carving.

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
