Tha 187 hands down
Elizabeth is short and soft, better for BC booters
187 ultimate all mountain, still good for jumps, Rory rode the park on it most of the season last year

ya never mind. i didnt realize that the eliz only came in 172 which sucks royally. im 6 feet 1inch. i chose those two cause i want to give my hard earned bucks to a rider operated situation. im not sure line is 100 percent rider owned but you catch my drift

do you think the sir francis bacons will be to short. my last ski was 04 05 scratch bcs. i loved em with a passion but i felt in the park they were a little to tall. but it seems 182 is to short. i dont know 6 centimeters aint all that much right.

dont tell me to do my research thats all i do when im not skiing is research skis. and it also has to do with the fact that i like eric pollards style and approach to skiing and trust the ski that he puts out. in all seriousnes.

elizabeths are sick, people are too worried about length, less tip means easier sw carving in pow(dont have to lean as much, more centered, more control etc) pow skis have short tails for a reason, so you dont have to lean back as much, this way you get centered skis for equal control sw and forward and you dont have to lean as much going either switch or foward. Also 182 is DEFINITELY not too short for someones whos 6'1" thats like equal your height. I'm 6'2" and bacons will be sick this year I cant wait.

What are you stats... height, weight, type of skiing you like, how good you claim to be, what general characteristics you like in a ski. They are two completely different skis, meant for two completely different things, so it won't be hard to recommend one if those are the two of your choosing. It will also be easy to recommend other skis if we know what you are looking for.

dont worry about length so much on elizabeths, they are designed to ski like a snowboard, so its a good thing they are short, they are supposed to be the funnest ski ever too. bacons would be sweet too, if you weigh over 150 or 160 bacons would do fine.
