Replying to Line Elizabeth vs. Sir Francis Bacon (172)
I am looking to maybe picking one of these up but can't decide which one to get. Anyone here skied both of these and can help e out on the feel and what they can do, and if there are any huge differences I should be aware of?
To give you an idea of what I'm used to, I am currently on Prophet 100 (178) for the last 2.5 seasons and they are a touring setup, but it looks like I won't be doing much touring in the near future (I might be selling them with Dukes and G3 skins cut for them if anyone is interested). I like them but wouldn't mind something different. I might be looking to replace these with my new pair so for the beginning the new ones will be the only skis I will be on. I am a skilled skier and looking for something to try advanced tricks etc. and something fun all over the mountain. I'm 5'8" and 170 lbs.
Not sure how to say this without being a dick, but...
I'm not interested in what websites or magazines say about which of these will work where. I realize the Lizzies are marketed as a park ski but if it works everywhere else (powder/groomers/etc) then why not.
I'm looking for advice and experiences from people who skied one or both before. Please don't tell me what the skis can or can't do if you've never rode them before.
Thanks in advance.
