hahahahhahaa, we were on the lift together and some gaper girl was like "why are your skis so wide" and we had to explain to her eric pollard, and how they're fat park skis... she was taken aback to say the least.

and, i own bacons.  super nice flex, a lot of pop.  they are not rockered.

pm me with any questions about 'em, or check out the review i made

I get my lizzies on Monday. I've rode my friends though, and they are super fun. Can't wait to finally get my own.

if i had the money i would buy another 3 pairs for the future, so much fun, i feel sorry for people who haven't tried them, dont know what they're missing.

anyone ever not liked lizzies? i suppose someone who likes to spin 10's and 630 outs all day taking off and landing in a pizza pie? i.e. 75% park skiers?

haha, if 3/4 skiers could spin either of those, I don't know where that would put the pros.  But I get your point and completely agree.

Can't wait to get my bacons back from warranty.  EP all the way

I actually keep a count of how many comments I get about them when I'm at the mountain. Oh, and they are by far my favorite ski that I've ridden and I also think that Line is making a mistake in not bringing them back for this season.

About 150 cm effective edge on the 182 cm Bacon.

I cannot say I have had more fun on any other pair of ski.  They are a shit ton of work in the chop and moguls, but everywhere else they are way too much fun.  The width isn't even that bad for tech stuff on rails, like people say fat skis are.  I didn't find it any more difficult to spin off rails and boxes than my chronics.

Do lizzies measure out to exactly 172cm? I am 120 pounds and like 5,5, and 172 cm is pushing it, definetely don't want any longer.

My Lizzies came in today, and I noticed that the bases are primarily white, as opposed to orange like most of the pictures show.  The colors on the bases are basically reversed.  I don't really care, but it seems kinda weird.  Anyone know why this is?

I have last years, and they were primarily shown with white bases, but mine had black.  I was happier with black bases.  I like how line does that, so there is at least some difference between the same ski.
