I know they dont make them anymore but i was hoping to score some in the b/s/t forum. but my question is am i too big for elizabeths? im 6 feet 170 and i will probably be using them aboput 80% park and the other 20% groomers pow. Im not that great of a park skier so it would be mainly hitting smaller stuff so im not worried about stability on 60+ footers. any input/other suggestions would be great

The problem is that those are not alternatives at all to the lizzies.

If you really like that wide soft type of ski you can check out the sir francis bacons because they come in a bigger size.

why did you choose/ think of elizabeths in the first place?

if you enjoy a noodel to ski on, with your size, you get an ultra-noodel

Learn to read dumbass. He said he hits smaller features and IS NOT worried about stability on 60+.

I am 5'11" 160 and I love my lizzies. I would say go for it man, they are extremely soft but so much fun.

Dude they were Pollards main park ski for several years and I believe he is at least 6'. They were made to be a fat noodly park ski for anyone, regardless of size. I say go for it, I've got a pair and I fucking love them.
