Are there any skis that could really be comprable to the lizzies? Im about 6'4 and a 172 doesnt come near the size I need.
anyway, I dont really have high hopes because its not like I havnt looked around or anything, but can anyone bring some skis to my attention that are characteristically similar to the lizzies that DONT just come in one small size?

Old sfb in 182cm ? Maybe stiffer but almost the same dimension

yeah, unrockered SFBs are what you want.

Bacons used to be basically the exact same ski as lizzies, but bigger in every way, until they added rocker. Mine from 08/09 are super playful and same basic sidecut pattern as lizzies were. But, as mentioned above, they are a bit stiffer for sure. Maybe rockered ones would feel softer?

Next years Bacons in a 184 will probably ski the closest to Lizzies. Very similar dimensions, same mounting point. I haven't skied them so this is just judging from specs. Specs look more or less like lizzies with some early taper/rockered bits added to the ends. They'll be stiffer but the rocker would help counter that.

I think they are supposed to be softer as well.

I know alot of people were recommending the 9th Rorey Silva as an alternate. The dimensions are similar and it comes in a mid/high 170.
All times are Eastern (-5)
