Line Bacon 122

While you can ride them at a resort, they are specifically designed for deep powder and backcountry freestyle. Because of their 122mm waist and soft flex, they will feel sluggish and unstable on hardpack or icy groomers.

The soft flex is intentional; it makes the ski playful, surfy, and easy to butter or press. It allows for a more creative, freestyle-oriented ride in soft snow, though it sacrifices the stability and power you would get from a stiffer ski at high speeds.

By thinning out the material in the tips and tails, Line reduces the swing weight of the ski. This makes it much easier to spin, maneuver in the air, and pivot quickly in tight trees or deep snow.

Yes, they are built as a full twin-tip, so you can ride and land switch comfortably. However, keep in mind that their width makes them quite heavy and cumbersome for technical rail tricks compared to a dedicated park ski.

These skis are built for soft, deep snow, not blasting through heavy crud or crust. They may feel deflective or unstable if the snow is inconsistent or frozen, as they lack the dampness and torsional rigidity required for charging through rough terrain.
