I am looking for skis that would be good for in the trees. I live on the east coast, going to school in VT next year, and my 181 chronics are not too nimble in the trees. anyone have good experiences in the trees with the Elizabeth or any other similar ski? thanks for any advice.
 
They would be great, but it depends on your height, weight. I got this years bacon, because it is oriented more towards powder, and will float better than the lizzie. THen again, I don't mind the 182 length, and I find them playful even in tight trees. You will find lizzies to be very soft and possibly chatter at speeds if you charge. A less park, more pow ski with similar dimensions is the Rossi S6, which comes in 174 too. IT is 110 at the waist. The 9ward rory sounds nice too
 
definitely, well put.
check my review of the lizzie. i ski at stowe in VT and they do chatter quite a bit because they are quite soft. i may be selling mine at the years end just because i think i want a longer ski, but for tight EC woods, its pretty sick
 
thanks man. i will be using these whenever there is a pow day and i will wonder into the park with them a little bit. i looked at the s6 and s7, but i kind of forgot about them. i'll look into the rory's too. and i think the bacon would be too long, seeing that i am on the east coast and wont be seeing any open powder.
 
i live on the ec and i use bacons, they're crazy turny for their length and girth, lizzies will be a better park ski and more turny they're just really short and won't be as good in powthe s7 is more of a charging ski, it won't perform well in the park or super tight trees
