lizzy's butter a little better, but um...hello ARV

great ski, and you get more of a variety other than bacons or lizzy's. And an amazing butter ski, quite soft.

I havent really been hearing good things about the ARV durability. in terms of top sheet. and if im gonna spend alot of money on skis i want them to last.

Bacons are much worse with delaminating. I say ARV's are your best bet.

we've basically told you every ski for what you've asked for and basically you have just ignored what everyone has said.

If u ride enough, chronics are so dope.
they are pretty stiff but after riding them like 10-15 days they get to like the perfect flex

they are a really fun softer fat ski
you can definitely butter on them and they have a really good turning radius too so they are pretty sick on hard pack, line's skis are always pretty light weight so reppin them in the park shouldn't be too difficult, surprisingly they are quick edge to edge , i'm getting bacons, but i'm pretty tall and i'm moving out west but i have demoed the elizabeths and they are hands down one of the best and most fun skis i've ever been on

Yeah the tms are really too stiff for buttering.
I say 4frnt STL. Mad fun, and still a decent park ski.

They're sick!

Bacons are a little big for park.. at least in my experience. Lizzes will give you just about everything you have been looking for. Great for groomers, pow, and park. Thick durable edges. Pretty damn buttery. Bomb ass warranty.

You can go back in the jibij updates when MikeB was on Line and see mad pictures of him slaying the park with them.. also there are some shots of Jake on them.

How tall are you? If you think lizzes are too short, then you may want to check Live Life 2's.

i'm not sure how i feel about the 0 camber on the live life 2's, and for a pow ski, they're still kinda short

Actually 179-182 is perfect (IMO) for a fat pow jib ski. Any bigger.. and you have trouble controlling them, shorter.. tip dive, and 0 camber is a happy medium btw camber and rockered. Should be sick in pow and manageable on the groomers/park. I'm getting a pair.. giving up my bacons for them.

i supposed there is little difference between a 179 and a 182, but i think i'm gunna go with the bacons because there is still some camber yet it's still relatively soft
