So, I ride mainly Stratton and Mount Snow, and the lizzies sound super fun and stuff for messing around throught the park, and in the trees on a good day. My question is, would a person my size: 5,5 120lbs. be able to ride them comfortably?

Oh, ok, so how tall should sombody be to ride lizzies, like 5'1, 5'2?????? that's like a little kid. I think Lizzies will definitely be fine.

yea around that height if you're getting them for powder. those are a park ski. and if thread creator does not charge, or ski powder deeper than 18", then yes, lizzies will be fine (but still a little short). but if he does charge, is and expert skier and wants to float through waist deep pow, no those wont even start to hold up

^ agreed, but he's not in Squaw valley, nor am I.  I was in a similar situation, but being 5'9", will probably go with the bacons.  But at his height and for mostly park, lizzies sound good.  On the east coast, 6 inches is worthy of a first-chair, all-out pow day.  Its all relative

no, for my size they are terrible for deep powder......i have prophet 130 and some motherships and some powder magics for when it gets powdery

i dont think thread creator rides too much deep powder since he skis stratton.

^ so i guess we all have to ride a 182's to be cool. damn, what a wake up call for all us bitches.

Marshall. is right. i'm 5'8 130lbs and i have lizzies and rode them for everything last year (park, pow, groomers, whatever) and i loved them.  it can depend on how and what you are ridding, but they aren't too short.

Well if you love a fat park ski then Lizzies are your best option. I know a guy who is 5'10 like 170 and he rides them in the park and loves them.

lizzies will be sweet under 135lbs. Great pow/all/mountain ski mounted at rcd. good park ski with a centre mount even if your up to 150lbs. Go with the lizzies.
