So Im thinking of getting some lizzies to play around on as I know where i can get and awesome deal on a pair of last seasons.  Im 6'3 and 175lbs will they be way to small for me, I want them for messing around in the park with the odd bit of pow going on?

Way too small.  Look at the bacons and other options.

you shouldnt be on anything smaller than a 180, and even that is going to be pretty small

yeah too small, im 5'10 and 150 and i love em. bacons may be better, or even some anthems, but definatly get something longer or at 180cm

i think you guys missed the part where he said he wants them to play around on. they are meant to be short. but if you plan on doing alot of pow then the bacon is good, but if you are gonna be in bounds alot of they time, they will be fine, as long as you like a soft ski. i am thinking about picking up a pair at the end of the season if i can find some for a good price

I didn't miss it.  I just think it's still way too small to even play around in the park with.  And that every once in a awhile pow run he takes will turn into a never take a pow run.

yeah even for playing around id say theyre too small. i cant imagine being 5 inches taller and another 25lbs on me. pollard is not 6'3 and 175, i don't think thats what he designed the ski around. i skied on them  around 140 days last year and they are the most fun and versatile ski ive ever been on, but for someone your size id look at something a little longer, or everyrtime you land too far foward you will eat shit, they are verrrry soft and there isn't much ski in front of your foot
