Line Beth = K2 Bents?

I was just thinking that since Line isn't contiuning the Elizabeth, what could someone who is interested in a short fat park ski buy. It then occured to me that the 169 Hellbent is kind of close to the Elizabeth on paper. More than 120 in the waist, soft etc. I unfortunately haven't skied it but I was wondering how the shorter bent would do in the park/

Well, last year I was stuck between 169 bents and lizzies, so I will agree that the 169 bent is as close to the type of ski the lizzie is. Of course its bigger and rockered, but its a short fat ski.

Just get a pair of 09/10 Elizabeths for next year. Why do you need something close to Lizzies when you can still buy them? They're on sale all over the internet and since they're discontinued they'll be even more the "hot shit" for a fat ski next year. I've never been on Hellbents, but I've had Lizzies for 4 years and they kick so much ass all over the mountain, get'em while you can!
