I posted this same type of question under the Line SFB ski, but thought I 'd get more exposure here...
I'm 5'9", and 155-160 lb. I've never ridden the Line Sir Francis Bacons, but I understand they're a bit stiffer this year - not super floppy. Are they anything like the 2010 Volkl Gotamas? I demoed the goats (170cm) in early 2010 (previous graphics) and loved them, but would also like to consider the SFB (172cm) with it's 115mm underfoot for those trips through the trees in CO and NM. Any feedback on the all mountain, groomer, crud ability between these two skis? Thanks for any input regarding these planks.

If you had a one ski quiv, it would be the Gotama. It is performs well on the groomers and in the crud. The slight rocker helps float over variable conditions, but there's not enough rocker to make the skis flop on the groomers. It is adequate for powder. The Gotama really shines in steep couloirs. Bottom line, it's a really fun ski: playful and forgiving!
