if you go to the Line website and read the "development story" about the Elizabeth you will see that it is Pollard's park ski of choice. If you look at the flex and the geometry, it is nearly symmetrical with the bindings only 2cm back from center. Also, it has a symmetrical flex pattern. These are typical characteristics of a park ski rather than a powder or all mountain ski. Think of it like an enormous park ski. I think they marketed it as a powder ski because they thought it would be too wide to sell to most park dwellers. The Sir Francis Bacon is another story though, although it looks like a bigger Elizabeth, it is actually stiffer, has less sidecut, and has a better-for-powder flex pattern.
 
ha ha ha, now that I don't know. Pollard and Jason swear it is great anywhere but remember that skis come down to preference when you really think about it. If you like wide skis, then you will like wide skis in the park. If you just don't like wide skis, then they aren't the park ski for you. Also, remember this: you can adapt to your equipment. If they feel wide at first, you will get the hang of using them and after a few days any ski you buy will feel good anywhere you ride it.
 
hahahaa i'd say no brah.

its sick at snowbird and alta but new england/????? doubt it

but if your a biggin go for it, makes landings easier cuz of the surface area bullshit

I haven't skied them yet because we don't have any snow but ill tell you what I know. They're marketed as a park ski, backcountry jibbing ski. From everything I've read they're really fun to just mess around with and they're really sick for carving. A lot of riders like pollard and mike broadbent ski them in the park all the time so they must be decent there. I just bought them to mess around with when I'm not in the park. They're really fat in the waist but they have a snowboard like sidecut so the fat waist does make turning more difficult on hardpack as it is with other fat skis. They only made one size 172 which may seem short but the added girth makes up for the shorter size. They're really soft so they're made for carving and jibbing and not straightlining and going fast. Hope that helped I'll write more once we actually get snow
 
Ive been skiing elizabeths since last year and love them. I live in minnesota but do a majority of my skiing in CO. I do use them in MN everyonce and a while and love them even at the small hills.

Ive got a couple pics of them in my profile i believe.
 
watch will wesson in snow gods and you'll be reassured that you can ski elizabeths in the east
