they did not change at all from last season. Exact same dimenstions (139-110-137) and same soft flex with the eliptical side cut. I just road the 08/09 last week and loved them they are so mcuh fun wherever u take them  jumps, pow, groomers.

for how wide they are (110mm) they are extremely light. and like everyone is saying above the way the ride is awesome. like the site says if there is any ski that rides like a snowboard this is it. its a ton of fun off jumps and the landing are so soft on it. as for rails they will be do fine. (check out the video on line's website of some MC's using them in New York on rails) i am def getting the 08/09's for next year cause of how much fun they are and having the 08/09 anthem will be the perfect park ski for me. So bottom line get the lizzies

I have this years lizzies mounted with STH 12's and they are pretty light...however i dont know if thats for sure a good thing...their weight combined with the lack of  stiffness make them pretty unstable in any kind of tracked or heavy snow

i beg to differ...

im 5' 11" 195 lbs and crud is seriously no problem. you can ski any terrain with any ski.  the only thing the terrain and ski decide is how you approach your line...

So I'm basically sold on the lizzies for my pow-jib ski for next year.  The only thing I'm worried about is if the lower profile tips, (40mm), will make it harder for skiing switch in pow, because I really want to progress in that area of skiing.  So does anyone know how well lizzies ski switch in pow?


Sorry for hijacking this thread by the way.

As for skiing switch in pow, they won't beat the EP pro in that area, but it all depends on how big you are.

I'm pretty small, like 5'4'' ,120,

and I know they won't perfrom like bacons or EPs, I'm just looking for a soft, fat, playful ski that can ski switch in pow fairly well, and since I'm pretty small the lizzies seem like a good choice, if I was bigger I would definately look into bacons or EPs

Very true you can ski any ski in any condition...that doesn't mean that they are good at it.....i have been on many skis that are alot better in the crud....don't get me wrong i love my lizzies, they just stay home on the deep or crusty and cruddy days

That being said for the dude thats 5'4 120 they will prob be perfect for your size....
