Line Lizzies too short?

Hey guys, I have recently come across a really good deal on some 07 lizzies on craigslist and Im a bit skeptical on the size. Im 6'2 ~150lbs and I currently ski on 184 poachers. The Lizzies are like a 7/10 condition wise and I was planning on just using them to screw around on in the park and all over the mountain. My main concern however is if they will be too short for me since they are 172cm. Any one out there over 6 feet ridden these? Thank you, any feedback helps.

yeah dude those are gonna be soft snowblades on you. id advise against it for sure unless you have a strong preference for tiny symmetrical skis and only ski rails on a 100 foot hill or something like that

The first year they made them they only made one length 172. Which is great if you are 5 foot 6. I am always looking for some old Bacon's that would be a fun nostalgia ski to have.

Every season the Elizabeth's were produced they only came in a 172. But yes, the 2009 Bacon's are like my unicorn. I would love a pair.

If your buying line lizzies its not for being a really perfect ski for you. Its for buying a super rare ski and having the ability to say you have a pair. Unless you fall into that 5'4 to 5'6 height rage the line lizzie is gonna be more of a collectors item. So it you want a rare dope ski get it. If your looking for a park ski to fit you with specific attributes then maybe the line lizzie is not for you.
