i wouldn't get either one if you live on the east, but if you've got your mind made up the elizabeth will be just fine.

yeah, unless you ski jay or stowe or somewhere with a lot of snow, fat skis are kinda useless in the east...

if I were u I would go Bacon no matter what...if u centre mount them they will be killa in the park, and if u mount them further back they will kill it everywere!!! plus ur 5'10 I would say 171 (or what ev te lizzies are) would be on the smaller side...unless u like ur skis short
