    Best 110-112 mm underfoot skis out there?

    I love my old 108 mm Line Sir Francis Bacons as my go to soft snow/powder area ski- playful, quick and easy. What’s similar that’s a tad wider?

    I area ski Telluride, Crested Butte, Silverton mostly.

    Um.

    Pilsner Hoji (112mm)?

    New Nordica Unleashed 114 (next year?)

    Season Pass would qualify for two tads wider (116mm) and light/playful? Season Nexus is supposed to be a stiffer Bacon....but its only 106mm wide? I think the Pass is a wider, lighter Nexus?

    There are really an outrageous number of skis that fit this description

    ON3P Jeffrey, Woodsman, or Mango 110
    Moment Deathwish
    Blizzard Rustler 11
    Atomic Bent 110
    K2 Reckoner 112

    Maybe give us more info? Or demo? Offhand, I'd suggest the Jeffrey 110 or Bent 110.

    Atomic BC 110 and Reckoner 112 are good picks.

    just join the Mfree 108 circlejerk like the rest of us. "tad wider" means going to 114+ because absolutely no one is going to notice the difference of a couple of mm. Anywhere around 110 is what you should look at.

    The bent 110 is for people that found a Bacon stiff and planky. It folded on me when I was hand-flexing it..

    Best 110-112 skis?

    Deathwish, on3p jeff 110, bent 110.

    Really wish there were a revolt 112.
    Reckoner - yup.

    Deathwish is the most traditional mount. The others are all pretty jibby - more like the sfb.

    These are all stiffer than the SFB.

    Maybe the mango 110 is the answer?

    Yep or MPro108. The other is the Stockli Stormrider tt110 if ya can find it. Word on the street is Marshal is conjuring up a 10something for next year @Heritage Lab.
    This really is subject to what you are truly looking for tho. So many choices in this category. Never skied it but the Rossi Sender Squad is sick. Only fondled in the shop. Want to ski it so bad.

    I used to ski CB and the deathwish was a sweet soft snow ski for all the mini golf terrain there. Super easy to spool it up and shut it down on jumps, drops etc. Playful enough but still stout with decent edgehold. Not my favorite in truly deep snow but that is so rare at CB that the DW is really the fattest ski you need.

    I think the mfree 118 is a sensational ski.

    These (nor the MFree series) aren't anything like the Sir Francis Bacon, which is one of the softest and most playful skis out there.

    I will throw in for the DeathWish as well for this type of snow and terrain. Really fun and amazingly versatile in these types of conditions.

    I know. I was more responding to the thread title. When I read the Sfb, I just laughed and left my reply.

    Same as above. Not even close to the Bacon.

    Most skis being recommended. We obviously don’t care. Lol! His thread title asked for best. Our attention spans can’t be tested with reading his real question.

    If you love the 108mm SFB, the skis I consider the best in this category will seem like too much work.

    Not my cup of tea but the Bent 110 seems logical. I wasnt a SFB fan.
    a positive attitude will not solve all of your problems, but it may annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Probably the only suggestion that is in line with the OP's wishes is the Mango 110. Most of the other suggestions in this thread are absolutely no where near what an SFB is.

    Look for an older DPS 112 RP in the garage of someone who doesn't actually ski.

    Maybe Eric Pollard’s new brand/ski?!? Season, I’m guessing he hasn’t strayed too far from what he used to like at Line.

    Ouch- in all fairness, the Bacons are a bit soft for me and would like a bit more muscle...looking at the K2 Reckoner 112s...
