i have a conundrum. get the elizabeth and have the 6 pack versatility and ability to go in pow? or get the invader and have tons of fun with the butter zone and the symmetricalness?

More information first.

Do you plan on skiing a lot of park, a lot of pow, 50/50 on both. Tell us some precentages.

Next, your height and weight, and how aggressive you are with your skiing.

Oh yah and location. To get a feel for what you'll be riding.

i live out east and im generally an aggressive skier 6 feet 160lbs.
generally in the park but i love cruising around and fucking around. but it seems like the elizabeth would be more fun to cruise around on because it is wider and excentuates the eliptical side cut more, allowing for quicker turns. am i right?

they both have the same sidecut. I'd go invaders because the lizzies wont be too great on hardpack
