Line Bacon 108, 115 and 122: The Playful Powder Ski Family Reviewed

Introduction

The Line Bacon is back for its second year, and it remains what the brand intends it to be: the playful powder ski. If you want to butter, spin, and bring jump tricks into fresh snow, this is the family built for that. It comes in three widths, the 108, the 115, and the 122, and each width is tuned for a slightly different style of rider.

A Park Ski That Lives in the Powder

The Bacon is best described as a park ski you can ride in the pow. Compared to other skis in the Line lineup, it is more playful, more nimble and quick, and it carries that soft, buttery flex that makes ground tricks feel natural. It tempts you to ski park on it because it is simply fun. The idea is to bring the tricks to the backcountry and make the whole mountain your playground.

It also handles switch skiing without complaint. You can land switch off a backcountry jump, wheelie down the mountain, and generally get a little weird in the powder without catching edges.

Line Bacon 108

The 108 is the happiest medium for riders who come from a park and street background. If you are used to skinnier skis, jumping straight to a super wide platform can feel strange, and the 108 bridges that gap comfortably. There is no trouble skiing deep snow on it, and the consensus among those who ride it is that it never leaves them wishing for a fatter ski.

It feels like a park ski in the pow, which is exactly the point. For street skiers and park rats who still want to enjoy the deep days, this is the width to look at.

Line Bacon 115

The 115 is a bit more of a charger ski, with a more substantial feel underfoot. The wider platform helps you stomp landings in really deep snow and avoid some of the awkward forward pitches that come with narrower skis in heavy powder.

If your pow days lean toward bigger lines and committed landings rather than pure jibbing, the 115 gives you a bit more platform to trust.

Line Bacon 122

The 122 was developed with heavy input from pro riders who wanted a nice, flexy, buttery ski with a high tip and tail, so you never catch your tips or tails when landing in powder. It is the deep-snow jib tool of the family, aimed at backcountry jibbers who want to land switch, wheelie down the mountain, and have a great time in the powder without hurting their shins.

This is the widest, most freestyle-minded option, and it suits riders whose powder days revolve around creativity rather than speed.

Buying Advice

Pick the width that matches how you ski. Park and street riders moving into powder will feel most at home on the 108. Riders who charge and want a more substantial platform for deep snow stomps should look at the 115. Those who want the ultimate flexy, buttery backcountry jib ski, with high tips and tails that stay out of the way on powder landings, will want the 122.

Conclusion

Across three widths, the Line Bacon family keeps one promise: playful, nimble, buttery skiing in fresh snow. Whether you are a park rider, a charger, or a backcountry jibber, there is a Bacon width built for the way you want to ride the pow.
