SIR FRANCIS BACON £420

Construction:
Wood core sidewall

Seen as the definitive powder ski by the freestyle brigade, this is a fat, poppy, fun way to float across the snow. Chris from Barlett's started foaming at the mouth when asked to comment after a couple of runs; we'll take that as a good sign. Useable by less than gods and nutters, the Sir Francis Bacon is a proper feelgood ski that just happens to let experts go mad.
