For Junior skiers ready to slash, surf, and jib the entire mountain, we have the 2025 Line Bacon Shorty – a full on, high performance freestyle powder ski for smaller and lighter skiers who don’t fall within the size range of the Bacon 108. The wider platform and symmetrical shape make for a playful all mountain tool that’s perfect for exploring natural features and upping your freestyle game.

Why we like it:

It’s a great option for up-and-coming freeriders looking to hone the more playful side of their skiing.

Who it's for:

Tweens, teens, and small or lightweight adults will love the accessible and playful feel of the Bacon Shorty.

Highlights:

Taking its cues from its big brother, the Line Bacon Shorty is a lively and jibby ski that gives lighter and smaller skiers the tool they need to make the most out of the mountain’s natural features. An Aspen wood core provides stability and energy while keeping the swing weight of the ski nice and light for maximum playfulness. With a 107 mm waist width, a symmetrical shape, and generous rocker, the Bacon Shorty is surfy and floaty through deep snow, and easily maneuverable for skiers who seek out creative lines.

Things to consider:

The Bacon Shorty is on the narrow side for an adult dedicated powder ski, however remember that it’s all about weight and surface area: 107 underfoot for a small and light skier will provide a ton of float and will behave like a much wider ski. Kids who are still working on the fundamentals will want to get those dialed before jumping on the Bacon Shorty.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
