Other than the Guns and Icelantics, who makes them? I searched everywhere last year and couldn't find any.  I ended up with the Guns and wasn't disappointed at all but would like to find something fatter.  Plus, I want my guns to be my touring set up.  I checked out the Lizzies and they seemed way too big for me too handle, even at their smallest size. Same with other similar skis.  I'm only 5'2" and 110lbs if that helps.  I got a pair of Karmas in 161 which seems to be perfect size for me and the Guns in 164.  Oh yeah, and don't bother suggesting womans skis, I could care less about rocking pink skis, its just that non of them are fat enough.

Moment Pika.  170.  You'd definitely be able to handle it.  It is the same as a Ruby just in 170.  Real soft.  You might even be able to get Ruby graphics.. though Pika graphics are dope as hell.

just man up and get lizzies, im your size but 10 pounds lighter and wheni tried some  i was just fine, they're really light for their size and very soft so they handle shorter from my experiences

might be a bit to much ski for him to handle

those are so sick. i don't really like the Ruby graphic with the helicopter and all. I think I'll wait til' next season when I destroy my Guns and grab a pair of those baby's.  Hopefully I'll like the Ruby graphic better then. thanks man.  I'll have to demo those this winter though...

i have lizzes (172) and my friend has the anthems (171) and mine are almost an inch shorter even though there measured taller, i like my lizzies a ton they charge but there also soft, and they kill it on jumps, but they act decsntly nimble for there width and size, iv had these since i was 5' 3", now im 5'4" and i still love em, ill definaly have these skis until they break or until i die, they are by far the funniest, most versitile and best ski ive ever had

^minus the flowers at the bottom of the pikas, i still like the design better. i'd probably just keep the pika design. plus, it's different. although that girl making out with that wolf dude is pretty different as well.
