What's better?

[Kev-Hal]

I live in the east. I'm out west maybe 2 weeks a season at most. Usually ski ontario/quebec. I already have 174 PE's. I am 5'8.

Elizabeths or 179 Seth Vicious?

 

[NWFlow]

I doubt you want the elizabeths

 

[iskifoils]

174 publicks if you want all mountain and if you something a lil beefier go with vicious

179 Seth Vicious such a sick ski

 

[iskifoils]

its what my brother rocks

 

[Kev-Hal]

okay so i'll probably get the vicious then. Like I said, I already have the PE's in 174cm.

Now my next question is....

Do I get this years with the black base? Or Do I wait and get next years? The dimensions are the same, the only difference is the topsheet, and the base. I hear that this years are faster with the black base. Anyone else hear this?

 

[617jibber]

they both have sick top sheets but i kinda like the green on this years ones

 

[iskifoils]

go with this years because they look better than next years

 

[Kev-Hal]

Anyone hear about the speed of the bases between the two though? All as I know is that black bases are "supposed" to be faster. And Seth said in the K2 forum that the bases didn't turn out the way he wanted or expected them to or something. But he never said why. Anyone know?
