Replying to Lizzies/Bacons/Rories/Live Life 2s/Zeros
Sorry for yet another help-me-choose-my new-fat-skis-thread, but I haven't seen these five compared before. I ski the east, but I'm set on a pair of fatties, so please don't remind me how little snow we get. I'm 135 lbs., 5'10", and plan to use these as my every day ski. I have a pair of karmas that Iill make my urban ski, but I still want to use these new skis in the park a lot. I have heard the most about pollard's line skis, but I have heard that lizzies sink in deeper snow, and at only 172, they may be short for me. I wonder how much stiffer the Bacons are, and whether I can still slide rails on them/ butter them? The ninthward rory looks like a good size at 178, but what is their flex like? And I've heard of problems with their durability, but they just changed factories also. Surface live life 2's look fun, but I don't really want a rockered ski yet. And the Nordica zeros are a new addition to the list. Even though they are skinnier, they are symmetrical, and I might even center mount them. Lines I can get through most shops, but what about the indie ski companies? Anyone know of a good ec store, or should I order online? Thanks for your feedback.
