I live in NH and was thinking about getting a pair. I ski about 50% park and 50% whatever else we have at the time. I already have a pair of Ar5s so I was thinking about getting something wider. How would the Elizabeths be on some ice and groomers? Also what bindings would be good with them?
 
sHoot, why not. I rode them on the groomer and they were just fine. If you ride it w/out being able to actually see the skis, you would never know that its 110 under foot. If I had the money, I would've gotten these skis instead of bc's. I'll prob get them when the price goes down later on in the season.
 
Thats what I was thinking, from what i have heard they are pretty light and agile so I figured that they would be a fun ski to play around in the crud and woods on. Also from everything i've read about them, they were made to be a fat park ski so obviously they would be good there.
 
yep you are right they are a park and bc booter ski. Id get them, im trying to get a pair and i ski WI.
 
To everyone who said no, shut up. You have never skied them. They are a freestyle ski that is fat thats all. It will work on the groomers, just watch the video on lines site, they look so versitale.
 
yo if you want something wider those are way to big for the east coast, if your looking for a nice ski def. the new MOTHERSHIPS heard they were amazing, look into em
 
i have moships east coast anad its fine as long as you know how to ski ice it can be sketchy especialy with 110 wiast but do it id love ot hear how itw orks out
 
This whole "fat skis on the east coast is stupid" is so whack! I live in vermont and ride my Pistols more than my PEs and guess what...there's a reason for it. The Pistols are a fun fricking ski for almost any snow condition. Don't see why the 'Lizs would be any different.
 
of you can ski any ski in any condition, and if you can control it, you could probably do it resonalby well. I can carve turns on hardpack on my spatulas, but the doesn't mean I should get spats if i'm skiing just hardpack. It's about getting the ski that performs best for the conditions, not just what's cool and managable. The elizabeth's are a stupid purchase for the east coast.
 
everyone's got this idea that lizzys are a pow ski just because there fat. its a park and booter ski. its called progression dont let the size put u off.its meant to ski more like a snowboard.
 
just get them, im sure they would rip the east. besides the east gets its fare share of powder and deep snow, in fact the east is getting ready to have more resorts open than the west does.
 
i ski with MESKI and he does fine with the lizz's awsome for park. he rides 07 scratches on and off with the lizz. i say get them if u like jumps, rails are sweet with them too from wut i hear.

fat skis are useable on any coast. so stop bitching about fat skis shouldnt be ridden on the east coast. u probably can even ski a fat ski period.
 
So true, I'll be in possession of 3 skis over 105mm underfoot next season, Elizabeths being one of them...fat is sick.
 
^ He got them a few months ago and he is having a real blast with them. The skis actually carve well in EC conditions and are very light for their size.
 
yea, everyone over where i am would bitch at me all the time for having them blah blah blah

im really think about getting them the 07 cause the're insanly awsome
 
I love it when I hear people say you cant ski that here, or what the hell is that, or you can only ski those in powder. Then the looks they give you when you rip down some slope they cant ski.
 
hahah whatever man

its just art and its a ass, its not like a vag or something. no nips either.

you could just be like on the hill its weird but if i were to put these on my wall its art. truely
 
If you want something fatter that you can do everything with get the vicious... I ski the east and i have a piar... they arae amazing. Manegable in the bumps and trees. pretty good in the park, unreal in deep and they crush on hard pack and groomers
 
I have elizabeths and to all u people who say there not for the east coast screw u

they are the sickest most versitile ski i have ever ridden

i would recommend them to anyone
 
yea true fat skis are sick, but skiing a ski thats 110 and not stiff is not a ski that ur gonna carve on or turn well on. and when it gets icey which every place in the east gets, u wont stand a chance on those skis, unless u dont mind sliding your turns instead of turning
 
ive been riding a set for a week now in NC and they are fun once you get used to them but be aware that they are a very soft ski and will chatter like crazy on anything hard. if you can lay an edge and ski a fat ski well though go ahead, theyre super light super flexy and great for pond skims. be ready to do some explaining everytime youre on the lift too.
 
haha..this is all funny shit..Im gettin me some 06 lizzies and i live in vermont..and i dont care what people say..haha..ones im gettin are a lil stiffer so even better..Plus I used to snowboard so i know how to handle wider shit and they turn the same..so it should be super funn and I cant wait..Ive been wanting thses skis since they came out..and want fatties..haha.Plus vermont gets alot of poww at jay...so yea..ride on guys..Justin
