2026 Line Bacon 122

The Line Bacon 122 is an oversized twin tip that will not sink in any depth of snow. These gargantuan skis are built primarily for flotation but add in the playful shape and you’ve got some freestyle capabilities here as well. If you’re a creative skier and have a need to seek out the deepest snow on the planet, this ski is going to do very well by you. With a twin tip shape and a fun-loving flex, the Bacon 122 stands out as a stable yet playful powder twin for those looking for a very specific ski.

Built with a blend of aspen and paulownia in the wood core, the skis have a bit more energy than you may think. The denser aspen is energized by the lighter paulownia to create this specific character. Whenever skis get this wide, they tend to feel heavy, so adding the lighter paulownia here makes a lot of sense. In the 185, the skis sit on the scale at 2160 grams per ski, so there’s some heft here as well. We’ve noticed this with the other Bacon skis—they do have some weight to them—making them feel more substantial for more aggressive skiing. Line adds Bio-Resin for environmental friendliness, a Thick Cut Sidewall for greater durability and edge hold, and Thin Tip tech to lighten swing weight and make the skis easier to turn.

The shape and profile of the ski is quite dramatic, but in a good way. With huge measurements of 153/122/145, these skis are ready to rock when it starts to dump. The 185 features a sidecut radius of 19.4-meters which is on the slightly turny side for the width, especially given the flex. This makes the Bacon 122 one of the more engaging skis of this width, and we’re all here for it. While it’s not symmetrical per se, it’s at least more symmetrical than many other skis of this nature. If you’re looking for premium flotation and fun-loving performance, this ski is an amazing choice.

While it’s not particularly stiff or demanding, it’s on the heavier side, and it is quite wide. This keeps the ski relatively free from intermediate level skiers, and puts more of an emphasis on advanced, expert, and freestyle-oriented downhillers. This would make a great choice for a powder-specific ski and not a whole lot else. While there may be some skiers who like a 122 in non-powder conditions, they’re the exceptions, not the rules.
