Hey
So fortunately I got a job working at Alta this year, and I want to get a pair of powder skis to go with my chronic cryptonites (best ski ever by the way). Do you think I would be better off with the EP Pros or the Sir Francis Bacon if pretty much all my time is gonna be spent in bounds? Thanks!

If all your time is spent in bounds I would definitely go for the Bacon! The EP pros are 127 underfoot which is quite a big waist for an all mountain ski. The Bacons are going to be super floaty on days when its dumping, supportive in the crud, and a killer groomer ski when your in the mood. I ride the bacons and love em. You would love the EP Pros as well in pure pow, but I think the more versatile Bacon you will have a great winter on

Dude if you like Line and you'll be next door at Alta - get the Mo' Ships. No joke. You're going to want that stiffer ski when you start hammering around with the locs. Welcome to the Wasatch dude, it's gonna be killer this year.
