Line Sir Francis Bacon freeride ski

The Line Sir Francis Bacon freeride ski is Eric Pollard’s personal quiver of one, designed to be the most versatile ski in his collection for handling all terrain and conditions. Plenty of width for the pow along with the agility needed to ride the entire mountain.

The SFB has been completely re-designed for a level of quickness & versatility previously considered impossible in this width, yet with enough float to be worthy of Pollard’s name. A lower Early Rise tip geometry PLANES INSTEAD OF PLOWS in the deep. The length of Early Taper has been reduced vs. previous Bacons to put much more Active Edge length in contact with the snow for MORE GRIP & LESS SLIP.

The Bacon’s smooth & reliable flex pattern feels like an extension of your feet, literally carving on a dime as well as it floats in the powder.

The Sir Francis Bacon would be a great tree/pow/BC ski even on the east coast.

ERIC POLLARD - "Over the past decade I have designed and skied over 100 different prototypes in search of skis that allow me to ride the mountain the way I want to. We have gone to every extreme from super fat 140mm to narrow, to super short, to over 200cm long, extreme Early Rise to no Early Rise, lots of side cuts to reverse sidecut, blunt tips, pointy tips. We have applied every flex pattern we can think of, mounted each ski in different locations and analyzed the differences over and over again, to learn so much from each ski. The new Opus and the Bacon are the culmination of the last 13 years of work. They blend a perfect mix of flex, sidecut, tip shape, overall shape/ footprint, mounting point, Early rise, Early taper, and camber. They are honestly the best skis I have ever skied."
