Elizabeth Alternative

[Leafman]

I don't think mine are gonna make it very long next season, what skis have a similar flex pattern and side cut

Please only post if you've had Elizabeth's

 

[PC.]

177 Nordica Zeros?
Symmetrical flex and sidecut, 105 at the waist... pretty flexy. The Lizzies are pretty damn original ski design wise.

 

[410steeze]

09/10 172 bacon? little stiffer and 115 but pretty sounds pretty similar. or get this years with rocker

 

[Leafman]

I'd like to go with something with a bit smaller waist

 

[Lemuel]

rory silva pros

 

[Bangs.]

this. also you can get them for 100 dollars.

 

[.Max.]

Buy some old elizabeths and keep them until your current ones die?

 

[MrLarsen]

Still Lizzies available at both backcountry and evogear..

 

[jibjunkie]

haha you missed the joke. why dont you get your hands on a pair and tell me how much they are like lizzies

more elizabeths.....

but how would you feel if your shop murdered then kidnaped your lizzys Étienne

 

[Leafman]

disappointed, i want a lighter smaller ski though to step up my rail game though

 

[B-runge]

well then there is nothing like elizabeths

and elizabeths are my favorite rail skis hands down.

 

[Leafman]

yes but there not quick unfortunately

 

[Bangs.]

i have a pair right next to me and my friend has lizzies.................................. they are very similiar

 

[Leafman]

bump

 

[B-runge]

there is nothing similar frenchie

 

[Leafman]

fuck, what about somehthing like the alpha series or rockered blue steeles?

 

[.cam.]

if you are just looking for a skinnier pair of flexy skis get the atomic patents of anthems. besides that you are out of luck

 

[B-runge]

really like nothing

the closest thing to my lizzys that i have ever experienced are my invaders, and they are far from the awesomeness, plus if you get a skinny ski that short they will not have the same feel at all. anthems may also be considered

alpha series is definitely not like lizzys at all

i think you should just go for a regular great park ski like one of the alphas or rockered blue steels

j mos could be pretty close i would imagine if you got a 171

ive ridden/own all those skis that i voched for except the on3p ones, just so you know im not just grabbing this outa thin air

 

[Leafman]

i would get a 178+ ski

 

[B-runge]

well then

do this^^

 

[Leafman]

what?

 

[B-runge]

+ keep your elizabeths for when your feeling lizzy

 

[Leafman]

yeah im going to

 

[B-runge]

well then this thread sucks!

 

[Leafman]

not really, but i guess nothing is like the elizabeth then

 

[RascalWaterMox]

this. there is nothing like them. i have them and i have the rory silvas BTW for those arguing... literally nothing alike... the rorys are SO stiff and have a traditional sidecut... the lizzies are SO soft and have an almost symmetric shape (139-110-137)... literally the softest skis i have ever ridden (lizzies) and the stiffest (rorys)
if you want something a little skinnier, shorter, soft flex but quicker (ie more pop) and similar symmetry... seems like the 161 or 171 anthem would be the closest ski but still considerably different...
so basically the lizzie is the one and only and until they start making it in pussy size (

I was complaining to the line guys about it at hood yesterday and i talked to one of the guys who really makes those choices. He said that SFBs in 172 and Pandoras are pretty much the same thing.

 

[Scrambles]

I was thinking about icelantic nomad sft's as a Lizzie replacement, I flexed them and they are soft as hell, look realy fun, but I didn't have the cash at the time
