I am so fucking glad I got my Lizzies this year. So much fun, I've rode a lot of my friends skis, such as silencers, 06 fujatives, and a few others, and the lizzy is by far the best. And I get so many comments along the lines of "Why the fuck would you buy powder skis?" which is a good question, seeing as I live in the Midwest, but no one understands that they are a park ski. The only thing i would like is longer lengths, and a bit of carbon for pop.
Yeah I bet. The Hellbent was never intended to be as versatile a ski as it turned out as. The added 10 mm of girth underfoot is going to take a lot of that versatility away, I fear. Thank God I bought a pair of 08-09 'Bents this year.
Since this has turned in to a "We're so mad they don't make the Lizzie's anymore!!!" thread, someone should answer this for me:
Who is the tallest person that rides them? I'm 6'1 and don't really see a reason to even strap on a pair. 172 length just doesn't sound appealing, plus I like thinner vs. fatter park skis.
