I'm 6' and 190lbs they are a fun ski to dick around on but are incredibly noodly once you use them a lot but fun nonetheless.

depends on what you are riding. im only 5'8"ish 150ish pounds and riding the elizabeths this year, last week i rode brighton after a big 40"+ dump and i was getting some tip dive (i have my head mojo 15's mounted +1.5 cm from core center). i wouldnt use them for powder skis if i were you, they are borderline for me in the superdeep stuff.

for all mountain or just park they would probably be ok for you to screw around on, they'll definitely be shorties for your height.

i notice at higher speeds they can get a little squirrely, but overall they have been solid. i have got 4 days on mine so i'm sure i'll get more used to riding them.

My plan was to ski light powder and crud and just all mountain jib, my biggest fear is that they'll be too noodely under foot. I might have better luck with bacons. .

Bad bad bad. They are terrible in crud. I love mine in powder and groomers, but they are one of the worst skis in tracked out pow and moguls. Softest ski on the market.

ya they are pretty bad in the chopped up shit, i noticed myself getting tossed out of the saddle many times trying to work through the semi-mogul and tracked out stuff.

im 6'3" and i fucking love my lizzys for park groomers messing around ice anything really. Theyre not to favorable over some of my other skis in pow and crud but i still shred em and they feel like theyre working very well when im baked.

so i wouldnt get them unless you had another ski to fill the slot of crud/tracked pow ski
