How do the line elizabeths ride in pow?  I was looking at them or the obsetheds for my pow/backcountry jib ski...
Also, at 5'5" and still growing, would they fit me?

lizzies sound okay, they're fun to play around on in pow but by no means a charger ski, if you're expected to be over like 5'9 then they're too short, especially because they're the most fun mounted at center due to them almost being symmetrical. obsetheds would be charger skis, not great for jibbing. i would recommend the bacon, it's super fun to play around on yet it can also charge and jib and it's 182 so now it might be a little challenging to handle but once you grow a little it'll be super sick, a better longterm investment than the lizzies

Yes

however, I know a dude who rides Lizzies and he's like 5'10, he uses them for park though and has them mounted at like -2 or something.

I'd say if you want a bc/jib tool the Lizzie would be good for you, but if you are growing fast or will be over 5'10 in the next year or two maybe get Bacons or Bibby Pro's or something.  I dunno there are so so so so so many sick skis out now.  All in all I'd say go for the Lizzie, it will be sick for your size, at least this season.

i have lizzieas. they are great for everything. I take them in the backcountry all the time. And they will fit you. They are very flexible and playfull so they ski short.

i rode lizzies in pow, in colorado where you are.. i used them as my only ski for 3 weeks and they were so good for everything.. read my review of them.. you are the perfect size for them.. and unless you plan on growing 6-8 inches in a year you won't outgrow them too soon

They'll work but if you really want something that can handle everythingthe Bacon's would be perfect except for their size.
