those are on two completely different spectrums of the scale.

The EP is fat soft and buttery.
The One Life is stiff, bent and stiff.

look into New lifes or Bacons. they'd be the alternatives from those two companies

imo you'd be insane to want the new lifes for a park ski... they are a stiff, fat, charging ski. do not think would be fun at all.

one life on the other hand i think would be great, if you are looking for a rockered park ski. not incredibly fat and stiff so they are manageable but the rocker makes them very nimble and have a great jibby feel. i would reccomend them.

haha. well the one life is one of the stiffest skis i have ever flexed, and the EP pros the softest. if you are really looking to have a ski that fat for park, take a look at the new lifes. poppy, symetrical (151 - 124? - 151). i got to use them in the park when i demod them and they were actually suuuuper sick. I  ride like a 90mm waisted ski in the park normaly.

What about the nomad sft? 105 at the waist,seems like it would be a good replacement for the elizabeth for next season if you want a fatter park ski.

LL2's are very similar to One life, 3 stage rocker and i think same dimensions. You seem too live in AK so i assume that your skiing a lot of powder. Either is a good choice if you need a new pow ski too. Maybe Bents, i've hear that their sick in the park, just a bit heavy though. Rockered park skis look like so much fun. I'm looking at getting a pair of K2 domains for next year.
