Don't waste your money. I live in NJ too and use to have fat skis and I never used them. Just buy a park ski, the invaders are sick and have cool graphics to impress the ladies.

i wouldnt get them, just due to the fact your paying the extra dough, but your gonna end up puttign them on rails anyways. Get the invader so you save money, and you wotn be afraid of puttign them on rails, considering the elizabeth will deteriate just as fast on rails, and your be paying a extra 200 bucks for em (i think)

they are a pricey ski, and they are also fat. although many people Ive heard from love them in the park, personally i would go a bit more narrow when riding park (upper 80s to mid 90s)
i have fat skis and they work in park, but when i get into a ski thats a bit more narrow but still decent, riding in the park is much more at ease.

the spatulas were never really good, watch people ski on them, they just slid everywhere unless the snow was over 36 inches...sound pretty pointless to me

do it.....if your a good skier. The extra base will help on landings and jumps. ALso if you dont have really strong legs it will be very hard to handle the extra swingwieght

Hell no. Elizabeths are a total waste if you live in the East. Not only are they super wide but they're also soft and short which gives you less edge for carving all that ice you're gunna be skiing.
