ok so i've been looking for skis for next season still and a friend of mine is selling a pair of lizzies used half a season (he got picked up by k2 thats reason for selling) for around 250. Heres the catch, they have 2.5 mounts. 1 mount for rossi axial 120 bindings, 1 for some look binding and then half a mount from changing the heel piece on the look bindings. So my question ns is this a safe ski for me to use for probably the next 2 seasons, keep in mind unless my look bindings fit a previous drill pattern then i will be putting a 3rd mount on these skis giving them a total of 3.5 mounts. Heres my info... I am 5'1 100 lbs i recently started hucking bigger cliffs (like 20-30 ft) so i am worried about these breaking.  I ski about 70% park 20% pow 10% groomers. I dont go huge in park (spins up to 5 forward and switch) but i do hit rails a lot. Theres probably some info i missed so just let me know.

lol.  is there anymore core to drill into? 

anyways, if you posted a pic it might be helpful.  it depends on where all the mounts are relative to each other.  I would say they are pretty much toasted though.  :-/  2.5 is a lot of mount action.  You don't want too many holes, cause then it def weakens the ski.  If you mounted you would have to mount in a patter that is far away from any previous holes.  You are pretty small though, so maybe it wont matter as much. 

All in all, if they are free, I would take them.  I wouldnt pay for them.

Fuck that.  Its a soft ski and with swiss cheese like that, theres a good chance it will snap in half.  I did it with a jp once.

how different is ur sole lengths? are u using the same bindings? if ur only remounting the toe piece and using the same binding, might not be bad, just make sure to helicoil those suckers. theres a few possibilities that might make it worthwhile

if they're this years, then snap them and warranty, you'll get a fresh pair then.

most skis can take 3 mounts total.. so i would say your riding that thin line of too many and just enough...so i would say its your call, i would say hold out just cuz $250 isnt a bad deal but you can probably find something better for just as cheap and drilled less.

Just use the old holes, it'll be fine. I remounted into old holes in old Skogens (like 00/01 model) and they held up to a shitload of abuse, no issues whatsoever. And Line's quality back then was horrible.

yeah my invaders are trashed, i have duct tape holding my edge in on one toe and multiple cracked edges, to answer a question from above we have dif boot sizes so it wouldnt work to remount into the same holes, maybe for either a heel piece or a toe piece but not both, also they are this years (07/08), ile see if i can get warrantee with them and then maybe it would make things more worth while since then if i did snap them i could get warantee, also how long is lines warantee?

did u buy with 2 mounts or did your feet just grow a lot? cause that doesnt really make sense to me i mean unless your boot size changed then you'd still be mounting dead centre

I wouldn't... you'll be able to find this year's Anthems below $300 during the summer or by next season anyway. Brand new, that is.
