Im pretty sure theyre 110 underfoot.  They are mostly used as a backcountry jib ski but some badasses like Pollard use them as their park ski.

they are eric pollards park ski.

so to most companies they might be considered a powder ski but in Eric Pollards mind they are a park ski, but he is really into fat skis ahviously.

but does anyone know how well they do in powder compared to most powder skis and park skis?

pollard's park ski.....

very soft but super sick park ski and almost symmetrical .... 139-110-137 i think

super playful and fun

if you're a smaller rider it can be a fairly good pow ski because its 172, but if you are big then something like the bacon would be better for pow

Alright so my cousin who lives out west has the line Elizabeths.  His style is bringing freestyle to the powder (spins and flips off of cliffs and stuff).  So they are his powder ski and he loves them.  Pollard's park is the backcountry anyways right?

no more need for you shorter guys to get lizzys as a pow ski, bacons are being made in a 172 next year

From the Line site itself- if they don't know what this franken-ski is for, noone does.  By the way, I have the SFB's and EP is a divine being of ethereal artistic and "snowsliding abitlities". 

Eric spends most of his time pioneering tricks in the backcountry pow, so when he drops into the park he wants the same wide ski feel. Eric designed the Elizabeth’s geometry, sidecut, and flex to match our other park-specific skis, for playful park maneuverability, simply with a wider ski feel. If you like progressive fat skis and want that same feel for the park, than Elizabeth is for you.

thread steal sorry.

should i get bents and anthems as a two ski quiver and spend a shit load of money

or should i get my self a pair of lizzies as a good 1 ski quiver for cheaper?

basically im asking is it worth it to have hellbents in powder and is it worth it to have the anthems in park?

bents=hellbent=bentchetler

we need to start calling them by their proper names, or there might be some confusion

Very dependent on your size and how much you do of each.
I would get EPs over hellbents though, if you go the two ski route.

The Lizzy makes no sense to me.  Fat skis aren't nearly as fun in the park, but it looks like a great option for pow for the smaller guys or girls.  Since the Bacon will be made in a 172 next year I don't see the advantage of the Lizzy.

I don't see the point of the Bacon in a 172...seems pointless when the Elizabeth exists.

yeah seriously! the elizabeths were my DREAM ski for several seasons in a row, untill i finally got a pair (now theres alot of things that i would change about it if i was eric) i dont even like skiing them anymore because i have hellbents now and compared to those, my lizzys seem like little snolerblades! it seems like it would make more sense if they came out with a longer lizzy rather than a shorter bacon! so many more people would dig the elizabeths if they had a longer size. also just my opinion, but i think the elizabeth has been around long enough, that eric should make some changes to it for 09/10, like maybe a little less/ or even a little reverse camber?? i think that would be a hella fun ski. sorry i just smoked a bowl can you tell?
