    Moving to Utah

    I think that i am moving to Utah next year to go to college, but as of now i dont have a powder ski and i don't think center mounted k2 fujatives will cut it in the backcountry

    so i was basically wondering what kind of skis everybody would recomend, i am looking for a twin-tip

    i have heard good things about the line sir francis bacons and i was wondering if these would be good for me, i am 6'1" and 160 lb's, i know that they are soft but im not too heavy so how would they handle some smallish drops and maybe some chutes for me

    i hope that all makes sense, thanks for your help

    I think you answered your own question. There are so many different fat skis to choose from these days, it all depends on personal preference. I don't know much about the Lines, but the dimensions seem about right and from what you describe would suit you well. Anything over 100 in the waist is headed in the right direction.
