I am looking to get some new skis for the upcoming season.  I was looking at the Line Elizabeth.  Has anyone skied them?  I am looking for info on how they ski in pow and groomers.  I have been skiing the K2 Seth and the 09 JO Pros.  I didnt like the jo's only because they were to little underfoot and im not a huge park skier.  Any info would be great..thanks..

ive owned my lizies for 2 years and i am absalutly in love with them. they turn on a dime if you aply pressy and they float like a dream in pow. they do so well on groomers that they are my everyday park ski.

i have lizzies now and i love them. they are super super soft and they rip. pow took some getting used to and like said above, dove the tip a little, but you get the hang of it real quick. i dont really ride mine in the park but they absolutely mash over any crud and snow clumps. they are kinda short, but again after getting used to it i love it. if your over 5'9 tho i might go for bacons

I think he really just wants opinions from people who have skied them. This is newschoolers, if he hadent been specific he would have gotten a ton of crappy 3rd or 4th hand opinions from people who just read what line has to say on their site, not first hand real feedback.

^ 2nd that, alota kids here post advise without any 1st hand experience (done it myself), not always bad advise but if he wants advise from people who have actually skied it then let him have it.

I owned them when they were first released. Of course they do well in pow, but they were surprisingly good on groomers too. You can whip them around in real short slalom turns with ease, and they hold up on ice pretty well. The main problem I had with them was durability - they were a flimsy ski and didn't hold up too well. They were a well-designed ski, but I prefer the 4FRNT VCT now, that ski more suits my needs, but if you think the Elizabeth will suit yours then I'm sure you'll love them.

well they hold up OK on ice but they are a bit wide and soft for that.. but line have really improved the durability since the first version.. i have the 08s and they were bomber..

how tall are you and how much do you weight becuase if you are over 5'4" and plan on doing anythign but cruizing powder with them i would def go longer there sick skis but just to small and soft for hitting anything big or charging

I am 5 8, 150ish.  a bit more when drinking beer..lol.  I like the size a lot.  I have the K2 seths at 179 and they felt too long.  It felt like I was working harder on the 179 when turining in pow and trees.  I had the seth 169 the season before and they felt just a very little bit too short, there only 98 underfoot too.  So i think the 110 would be nice underfoot.

110 feels perfect underfoot ... even on hardpack it just feels right
