Can anyone compare the gotamas and the line's sir francis bacon? I am about 5'7", 140 lbs, but ski aggressively. Looking for a pair of skis I will ride everyday, pow, crud, ice, groomers etc... Opinions/ advice?

Not really comparible, the prophet 100 and goats are comparible, but not the bacon's. The bacon' are a fat, mid soft powder ski that happen to carve very well on groomers but start to lose they edge when it gets real hard or icey, but shine when the snow starts falling again, but do bust crud pretty well, the prophet will be the best on hard snow and ice because of the metal in it yet is about the same as the goat in powder.
