Basically I was set on getting the K2 seth but then looked at the weight (heavy) and me being in between the 169 and 179 lengths... so I'm now looking at Line Lizzies... i really want a fun pow ski for just skiing in between trees.. doing a few tricks off rocks and the odd medium sized huck.. my main worry about the lizzies is the low profile tip causing nose dives in the deep stuff and when doing tricks in to pow but i have been assured in a previous post this wont be much of a problem.. i'm 5'8-9 125 and looking for a ski about 175, 105 underfoot... any recomendations other than these two.. which would you get..

i am prett sure that the seth is longer than what they say, they measure the legnth of the ski that is actually on the ground while standing on falt, and it is actually longer than this mesurment because of the "mini rocker" or early rise. dont take my word for it this is just what people have told me.

I would say the Seth is more of an all mountain ski, stiffer and more manageable through a wide variety of conditions whereas the Lizzie loves to turn (more sidecut) and a softer ski overall.  The Lizzie is very soft from tip to tail but is stiffer from edge to edge, making it a great pow ski but pretty bad in crud.

Also, at 125 pounds you aren't going to have as much trouble in variable conditions than someone who is heavier on the Lizzies, so I'd go for those if you are going to be skiing the pow, as well as jibbing the BC.
