okay so yesterday i got lost in the woods at waterville and i had to leave me anthems with griffons on them behind RIP. so now im in the market for a new ski i hear everyone loves the elizabeths but im wondering if they are right for me. Im 5' 11'' 165 in the east coast i am by no means a good park skier but i like doing 3s and 5s of really small stuff and i straightline the bigger jumps. and i also like to do alot of rails but nothing to tech on them. soo would the elizabeth be a good choice for me? ohh and i would also like them to do well on groomers and trees

I don't get it, how would leaving your skis behind help your situation?

i dont think the lizzies would be a very good pick for you, if you are riding primarily east coast and why the hell would you leave your ski behind?

alright i was at waterville and skied out of bounds. i followed ski tracks and realized they were taking me no where. i called ski patrol and they said to start hiking back up. i walked about 10 feet with my skis and realized that is was not possible to continue with me skis because the snow was like chest deep. the choice was either leave my skis or spend the night in the white mountains.

why not just carry your skis up and if anything leave your poles?

because the skis weigh much more and are just a pain to carry in 4 feet of snow. and i needed the poles to help me climb i garuntee that anybody would have done the same thing

i didnt mean all the hate dude, i just wouldnt really think of leaving my skis, behind, but i wasnt in the positon you were i guess, it just sounded rediculous to leave 150 dollar plus equipment out in the woods. The last part was just a joke really.

If I was you, I wouldn't buy new skis. Just wait until spring and go look for them.
