Replying to FS (most likely) Brand New 05/06 Elizabeths (and also SFB vs, EP Pro questions)
1st off, selling my Lizzies. Brand new, first year with the dragon/castle graphics, primarily light blue base. never skied, never mounted, make offers, just know i'm not in a huge hurry to sell. if nobody snags them i'll just wait til october or november and ebay them.
2nd. My setup for the last couple seasons has been 180 MSP's and lizzies (i sold my old pair before the end of last season since i couldn't ski). My msp's are pretty much beat, so i snagged a pair of 190 gotamas to use as my everyday ski. i bought this new pair of lizzies to replace the old pair, but i kinda realized now that going from 190 stiff(er) skis down to 172 noodles might be too much of a drastic change (i'm 6'2" 175 lbs). So i'm looking at Bacons or next years EP Pros as my fun/pow/tree ski. can't decide which one i want though.
Bacon pros: cheaper than EP's (especially for the green ones), stiffer than others (so i've heard) so they will be better all around (not that i really need them to be though).
Bacon cons: larger turn radius (i really like the lizzy's super tiny radius in the trees), stiffer than others (yes it's also a con because i already have a pair of stiffer skis and would like these to be softer i think)
EP Pro pros: Similar turn radius to lizzies, mad soft, probably float like none other.
EP Pro cons: price, and wondering if they will be as good in the trees as my lizzies are. also wondering if 127 underfoot is excessive.
please post suggestions or offers or send me a pm.
Cheers.
