I'm looking for new skis and i think the line elizabeths really fit my style, but i don't know if i'm too tall for them. I'm 6'2" and 150 lbs.
 
If you just wanna stay inbounds, not much pow, they'd likely be fine. They're meant to be shorter than most skis.

But if you really think they're too short, Bacons are similar (pretty much just a bigger, stiffer version of the Lizzie). But you're not too heavy, so if i were you i'd go with the lizzies.
 
gain weight cause u are skinnny as shit for 6'2 and buy some bacons. jesus i wiegh 160 and im hardly 5'10, and im not chubby what so ever. The extra weight/muscle will make u a better skier anyway.
 
Would they ski well for you? Yes, at 150 pounds they will ski great. Will they look a little funny at 6'2" with skis that barely come up to your chin? Maybe. But if you like them, they will perform well for you
 
172, even if elizabeths seems so small for a 6'2 person. What kind of skier are you? Are you pretty strong and experienced? The bacons are still really soft and pretty much the same ski. I think if you did some pre-season workin out and got some bacons you'd be happy.
 
I am 5'11" and 150lbs. I have been skiing on the elizabeth in whistler all season where the snow is generally alot more heavy than alot of places. I think I probably should have got bacons for anything remotely steep or those super deep days. Now they are alot of fun but not quite as versatile as I think the bacon would be. At 6'2" I think you gotta look at bacons if You are on the west coast. You could probably mount bacons dead centre and they would be more versatile and the extra length wouldnt be a problem.
 
I am 6'2" 160 and they are the most fun i have ever had on skis............ when the snow isnt all skied out. when it gets choppy later in the day they are scary because they are so soft, but when its fresh snow or soft snow they are the best skis ever. they absolutely rail carves too, you can ski these things like a slalom race ski, they hook up like crazy and will hold until you hit crappy snow. i would say they would work if you are looking to mainly ski soft snow.
