By Ranked #487 - Alpine Fat Skis November 22, 2011

Is the SFBacon a ski that an intermediate can grow and improve his skills on? Should I go with something not as wide? I really would like a ski I can ride for the next few years. So, I expect my ability to reach advanced sooner than later and don't want to waste my $ on something I'm going to quickly grow out of. HELP!!! 6'1" 185lbs intermediate. Live in Reno, Ski Tahoe....

These aren't super stiff gnarly skis you should be fine. The only thing is as you advance you will want to ski faster so sizing is a little tricky. These are high quality skis so no worries. If you decide these are too wide get the k2 kung fujas.
