i have narrowed it down to these two skis

i am 5'10" and 140 lbs and live on the east coast. i ski like 40% park now but plan on doing a lot more next year. when im not in the park, i ski everything from ice to slush to crud to deep pow when i'm out west. i want something that will carve really well and still be soft for easy butters and presses.

pm me or post your thought here. thanks

The Jmos and Lizzies are very different skis.

Jmos have a medium to stiffer flex, whereas Lizzies are total noodles. The turn radius is 4-5 meters longer on the Jmos, and obviously the waist is narrower on the Jmos.

Lizzies will have more float, but only because of their size.

yeah i thought the softness of lizzies and the rocker on jmos would make them equally buttery. im also used to stiffer skis but didnt know how jmos would carve with the early rise (i know alpha 2s dont carve so well). and the rocker in jeronimos and width in lizzies would make skiing pow equal for me since im not that big. anyways thanks for the help. anyone else have an opinion? do jmos still make nice turns even with the rocker?

I have '10 lizzies and i absoultely love them. i use them for powder, all mountain, and to the park on all the boxes and rails. they are great on the jumps because they are so forgiving on the landings. you can easily rebound of a backseat and have plenty of surface to land on.

BEST ski ive ridden

I love my Lizzies and would definitely reccomend them for someone who likes a good all around ski that is soft. They're super fun to butter around on and hold a very good edge in a carve. They're also super stable on rails and are a nice wide platform to land on. Swing weight is very light for such a big ski. The only annoying thing about them is all of the comments you'll get on the lift from gapers and gate rapers.

p.s. You mentioned skiing crud? Uhhhhh... it's scary on these

I got Jmos, and they carve very well.  They're very stable and nimble and I'd imagine they would hold their own in powder too.  Haven't skied park with them yet, but I haven't heard any complaints about them in the park.  I'd imagine they'd be fantastic on jumps because of the stiffness and length of them, whereas the Elizabeth is a lot shorter and crazy soft.  The only thing I can maybe see the Elizabeth being better in is pow, but I'm not so sure because they're pretty short, especially for someone at your height.

Also, does the 410 in your name represent your area code?  Because if so, same with me.  I live in Columbia.
