if he's gonna use them as a park ski then they'll be ok, width makes up for the length.

^ totally depends on how and what you ski along with personal preference, but i know several bigger guys that rock lizzies and love them.

exact same as me, except i'm 135 lbs. but, i asked for lizzies for my birthday in august, until i changed my mind at the last second and told my parents i would actually rather get bacons because they are longer. So, fast forward to the present (time that is), and i absolutely love my bacons. I skied in whistler, all around the mountain, and they are actually super fun in the park (no rails on these skis for me though, only jumps).
but, what i'm trying to say is that you should definitely consider getting bacons as opposed to lizzies.
TO THREAD CREATOR: they are way too small unless you are going to be skiing

The Elizabeth is a pro model in the truest form, its the length Eric Pollard likes for park so that's the length it is made. For a similar construction and a longer ski my suggestions would be to look at Eric's Sir Francis Bacon

Completely persons to person....so rather than telling you anything like most guys here did (i doubt anyone replying skis at the exact same level as you)...ill tell you to consider a few points
think about this...Eric Pollard rides them in the park at mount hood and hits 70 foots gaps on them...he is about 5'10" and likely a much, much, much better skier than you everyone writing in this thread...If i were you I would consider the lengths of the last few pairs of skis I had and think... "did I like my 175s or my 185s better..." it isnt that hard...also consider that on this site are people who truly love skiing so they are usually pretty good and ride well over the "reccomended" ski lengths...the tip of the ski should curve right over your nose while standing straight up if you're an intermediate skier...
