The 2025 Line Bacon Shorty with Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW Bindings is a high-performance freestyle powder setup designed specifically for junior skiers who want to unleash their creativity on the entire mountain. This ski caters to smaller and lighter skiers who may not fit into the size range of the Bacon 108, offering a wider platform and symmetrical shape for playful and versatile all-mountain fun. Ideal for slashing, surfing, and jibbing, the Bacon Shorty helps young skiers make the most of natural features while enhancing their freestyle skills. We paired the Bacon Shorty with the Tyrolia Attack LYT 11 GW because of the Attack’s light weight and reliability for all mountain and freeride skiers. Thanks to a 15% reduction in weight, the Attack LYT 11 is the perfect binding option for lighter weight freeriders, and keeps this setup on the lighter side without sacrificing power or performance.

Why we like it:

The Bacon Shorty is an excellent choice for emerging freeriders who want a ski that allows them to explore and express their playful side across varied terrain.

Who it's for:

Tweens, teens, and small or lightweight adults will appreciate the Bacon Shorty's accessible and lively performance, making it a perfect fit for those ready to tackle freestyle and powder challenges.

Highlights:

Inspired by its larger counterpart, the Bacon 108, the Bacon Shorty features an Aspen wood core that balances stability and energy with a light swing weight for maximum maneuverability. With a 107 mm waist width, symmetrical shape, and generous rocker, it offers excellent float and surfiness in deep snow, while remaining agile and fun for creative line choices. Fine-tuned for 2026, the Attack LYT 11 is designed to bring the ideal level of safety and performance to skiers looking for a light weight binding for a wide-bodied all-mountain or freeride ski. The new FR LYT Toe is 15% lighter, and offers a sliding AFD for precise and reliable release as well as plenty of elastic travel. Tyrolia’s SX FR Heel is easy to step into, offering an intuitive and frustration-free experience whether you’re stepping into your skis to start your day, or cleaning up from a pow day yardsale.

Things to consider:

Although the Bacon Shorty might seem narrow for an adult powder ski, a 107 mm waist provides ample float for smaller skiers, effectively functioning like a wider ski. Young skiers still mastering the basics should gain confidence and skills before stepping into this high-performance model.
