ummm? comparable to the invaders? the lizzies are much wider so skiing switch would be a tad bit more difficult, but if your a good skier, you are a good skier.


basically if you can ride switch well, you can probably do it well on any ski (under 115 underfoot.)

ok but since lizzas are supposed to be mounted back 2cm, would that affect anything? would it feel wierd coming from a centered ski?

i ride lizzies and center mounted skis and theres only a slight difference that only takes a few to ajust to.

it really isnt a big deal AT ALL.

because i want them?

maybe i would like them for the times when im not skiing ohio?

and i heard they are more fun than invaders on groomers, so why not get them. and yeah i might not get as many pow days, if any, but when that snow does show up ill be ready to ride it.

woah woah woah, you think invaders are heavy?  lines are like the lightest skis out there.  anyway, my lizzies ski great switch although i really wish they were stiffer.  they ski amazingly in soft snow but when it gets moguly and icy they are very scary skis to be on since they wash out like no other in turns.  i would recommend them if you like soft skis tho, but if you like stiff skis absolutely do not buy them.

yeah i thought my invaders were heavy compared to my buddies salomons, maybe its because he had the light salomon bindings on them and i have p12jibs?

vincenzo... because... elizabeths are not meant to ski east coast ice and shit like we get. you ski alpine and seem to forget that. if youre planning on going out west or even north a lot then yeah get them... but if not... theyre gonna give you a hard time.

i ride lizzies about my thumb back from center. I had the invaders too. My answer is if you can ride switch on any ski, the elizabeth will be just as easy, just a little bit more fatter, so you can carve way bigger. Best ski in the world, id buy them if i were in ohio too. Even if i only went skiing 2 times a year.

heavy?! are you joking. invaders are seriously a very lightweight soft park ski. they dont compare really to the lizze as your compararing a pure park ski to a back country ski.
