By Ranked #805 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis December 8, 2011

I am in at a bit of coin toss between JJ's and Sir Francis Bacon's. I know these aren't exactly the same type now that SFB's have slimmed up this year, but it seems both are still considered 1 ski-quivers.

I personally like to do tree runs, learning to hit kickers, buttering, and skiing switch generally in all conditions. I currently own a pair of alpha 1's for the park, and so I'm looking for the ski to do it all outside of it. (I ski in Western Canada)
Any impressions or thoughts?
