They're ideal for those who enjoy buttering, smearing, and jibbing, and who thrive in soft snow conditions.

Expert verdict
The 2023 Line Sir Francis Bacon Skis are a dream for those who love to play on the slopes. With their buttery feel and responsive nature, these skis are perfect for buttering, smearing, and jibbing. The full twin tip design makes transitions between riding forward and backward a breeze, while the early rise ensures easy turn initiation and great float in powder. The thicker base and edges mean these skis are built to last, even with frequent park sessions. However, they might not be the best for icy terrains or moguls. Overall, they're a versatile choice for intermediate to advanced skiers who prioritize fun and creativity on the mountain.
The 2023 Line Sir Francis Bacon (SFB) Skis, largely unchanged besides graphics from the past few iterations, is a ski designed for the all-day-play kind of skier (intermediate to advanced). Ideal for those who want to slash, butter, jump, and dance their way down the mountain, the SFB is a staple for those seeking powder, spins, and prioritize fun over high edge angle carving.
Key Features:
- Full Twin Tip with Early Rise – Twin Tip allows for easy transitions between riding forward and backward (switch) for those seeking turns and tricks. Early Rise allows for easy and consistent turn initiation, as well as plenty of float when it finds the fresh stashes of powder.
- Thicker Base and Edges – 30% thicker bases and edges allow for a longer and more useful shelf life of the SFB. It increases lifelong durability by providing a stronger ski that is capable of more frequent tunes and park sessions.
- Convex Tips and Tails – A truly 3-D shape to both ends of the skis allows for more soft snow displacement and livens up the tips and tails of the skis, creating a more apt to turn, surfy feel of skiing.

This is the perfect ski for the days when you just got some snow whether it's 1 inch or 1 foot this ski will thrive. The best way I can describe the feel of this ski is butter. With the skis 5 since cut geometry, this ski can make any type of turn you desire whether it's long or quick... Read more
Ideal for
- The ski is amazing for anyone looking to butter smear or jib on anything around the mountain.
- Does an amazing job at making quick snappy turns.
- When the snow is soft this ski thrives, whether its 2 inches or 2 feet this ski will float.
Not ideal for
- The top sheet isn't very durable.
- The flex the ski has can make it difficult when skiing moguls.
- Not the best ski when on ice.

Great skis but dried out
Originally posted at lineskis.com on Dec 11, 2023Had the same pair last year but got a nasty core shot so I bought a new pair. Obviously they have been in storage for a year but still a lil dried out and got white residue on the base. All good tho nothing a shop wax won’t fix.

What a SKI
Originally posted at lineskis.com on Oct 14, 2022I have used the Sir Francis Bacon my last two ski seasons in France. They blew my mind. Having a ski that can rip up the piste, float through powder and shred in the park, a one off really. Another apart of this is they are pretty rare in France, I only saw two other dudes ridding them. If anyone wants to have fun on the mountain I would highly recommend the Sir Francis Bacons. My only down fall is that I should off gone for the 184cm.

Erik was great!
5 /5
Erik was very helpful in assisting me to pick out my first pair of skis and ski bindings! I am an intermediate-level skier but have always used rental skis, so when looking to buy my own, I didn't have much of a knowledge-base. Erik was very helpful in answering my questions and with narrowing down which skis would be a good fit for me, taking into consideration my height/weight, skill level, skiing strengths and weaknesses, and price range. Thank you very much, Erik!

This was my first time buying snow sport gear of any kind. Tyler used the information I gave him to give me some really great choices and get me all set up with a board, bindings, and a helmet. He was very responsive to my questions and had recommendations for sizes and settings that I would not have been able to figure out on my own. He was great!

Brandon was awesome! He helped me choose the perfect snowboard gear, a Burton Cartographer with boots and bindings. He made sure everything fit perfectly and even scored me a great deal. Super pumped with my setup, the setup worked perfect for Midwest and East coast riding! Thanks, Brandon!

Tyler was super helpful!
5 /5
Tyler made great recommendations and really took the time to understand where my skill level is at and where I intend to ski. Ultimately, I was uncomfortable making the investment without trying the skis first, so I ended up buying a pair that I had rented several times and really liked. I had so many questions and came very close to purchasing skis a few months ago but now I that I have nearly finished this season I have a better idea of what I was looking for!

Exactly the advice I needed to pick the right gear
5 /5
Nico helped me decide what length Atomic Mavens to get and bindings. He helped me decide that these skis will work on East Coast ice and Jackson Hole powder. I wish Curated was sticking around because it's such a great service. My cousin bought skis bindings and boots last year with curated and is stoked.

Great help.
5 /5
Tyler helped to reassure me on the board I have been eying, while also suggesting the best options for boots and bindings; he never tried to push the most expensive option, but rather gave me a number of choices to consider for myself (and in fact, recommended a cheaper boot option than the one I went with!). He was a great help and I feel confident that he helped me make a solid purchase.

Additional Board
5 /5
I was looking at updating my board and was just looking around. After a quick chat with John to narrow down which board to pick, he made it easier than going into a store. He helped out with an additional discount that no other website could beat. Too hard to pass up a great deal, I bought the board and bindings. Cheers to debuting it before the season ends!

She knew exactly what I was looking for...
5 /5
I already knew what skis I was trying to find, based on the conditions I wanted to ski and also based on my skill level. Not only did she recommend the exact skis that I had been looking for, but she also recommended a better set of bindings than the ones I had previously thought were a good fit. I love that she's a neighbor over in VT while I'm in NH, so she knows East Coast (Ice Coast) skiing like I do. I'm so excited for the deal I just landed on brand new 2025 skis, and I have Shannon to thank for helping me narrow down the perfect fit. I'm just so sad to hear this amazing company is closing its doors, but while the deals are good and before they go, I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thanks again, Shannon! Happy skiing!

Noah helped me tremendously. I kind of knew what I wanted but by asking the right questions, he helped point me in the best direction for my changing skill level and age and kind of terrain I'd be skiing more since moving to a different state. He took everything into account. He gave me choices for each item I wanted---skis, bindings, poles---and put together a perfect curation! I'm super stoked to be able to take advantage of the discounts of course, but I never would've been able to do that or even find such great equipment without Noah's help!
