theyre really designed more for big mountain. they always have been and always will be i mean the rocker makes them even more of a big mountain skis but line thinks it makes them a park skis cuz they come in at 172.

you are gonna have a really hard time finding a ski like the lizzy. i know that so many companys ( ahemm k2) think that adding rocker to a ski makes it better everywhere but the old lizzy and bacon were prime examples of why rocker isnt a necesity. the lizzies were so siurfy on hardpack because of the super long eliptical sidecut. they were perfect and anthems were very close in a smaller package.


long story short load up on your lizzies this season and buy from backcountry cuz they have lifetime warranty although i wouldnt recommend trying to trash your lizzies

Motherships are big mountain.  Bacons are all mountain.  They are designed to be Pollard's most versatile ski.  So that he can ski them in the park, on the groomers, and in the trees and pow.

eric pollards all mountain ski and the average skier heres all mountain ski are very different. can the lizzies be skiid in the pow? yes. can the bacons be skiid on groomers and park? yes. can the ep pro be skiid in the park? yes.

his whole lineup is extremely versatile but a rockered bacon isnt going to ride anything close to the lizzie in the park or on groomers. they have like 60 percent of the sidecut that the lizzie had. imo line screwed up roayally and needs to bring the lizzie back
