What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I skied the Bacon Shorty with my groms, and it’s the perfect blend of playful and stable. It’s wide enough to float on soft days but still turns easily on groomers. The twin tip and rocker profile make it forgiving when learning tricks, and the lighter build helps kids progress without feeling overpowered."Who It’s ForProgressing Kids to Young Freestyle Skiers:Designed for kids who want to move beyond rentals and into a ski that supports creativity. Great for young riders who like to mix groomer laps with side hits, tree runs, or playful park features. What It’s ForAll-Mountain Play and Freestyle Progression:With a 107mm waist and rocker/camber/rocker profile, the Bacon Shorty is tuned for slashes, spins, and creative skiing. It floats through soft snow, carves on packed runs, and feels fun and maneuverable everywhere on the mountain. Why We Like ItFun, Forgiving, and Built for Progression:We like the Bacon Shorty because it carries the playful DNA of the Sir Francis Bacon into a kid-friendly package. The aspen wood core and fiberglass laminate keep it light and snappy, while the 4D Fibercap construction adds durability. It’s a ski that encourages confidence and creativity for younger riders.
