how would this be on groomers and as a all mt. ski

I'm 6'0 200 pounds. I've gotten 3 years out of my 182's. I've beaten those skis harder than you can imagine. I ski VT trees pretty much exclusively and so of course I see plenty of hardpack in between. These people who are bad-mouthing this ski for it's groomer-capability most likely haven't ridden it. It's a magnificent everyday ski even for the East in my opinion.

Evan, i am no expert by any means and i love cruising these on groomers, or any conditions. You won't confuse them with race skis, but they hold an edge on groomers. Awesome platform for landing big jumps.

Evan, if i were skiing primarily groomers, and all mt. i would want a stiffer ski. Something like the line prophet 100 if you want to stick with line. There is a difference between soft and floppy. The moment bibby pro is soft, the sir francis bacon is floppy. It works well in soft, untracked snow, but it deflects really is easily in crud, and is pretty chattery and not very stable on firm snow when skiing with any sort of speed. If you are looking for a ski for the groomers and to use as an all mountain ski, there are better choices (k2 obsethed, 4frnt vct, line prophet 100, moment tahoe, etc.).

I don't know if alexander has ever ridden the SFB but they are not floppy at all and they are more of a medium flex not soft at all, That being said they do very well on groomers and are an excellent all mountain ski, I have ridden them in every condition possible from ice to waist deep powder and they can handle it all.

The SFB is floppy and soft, it's not good on groomers and is primarily focused on soft, deeper snow.
