I realize I could find something in search bar but there are too many elizabeth threads and searching elizabeth tall didn't come up with anything. I am kind of tall (6,3) and I was riding anthem 178s (until they got fucking stolen) so i was thinking about getting some lizzies as I like a wider ski and they are discontinuing them. Will they be wayyy too short for me in the park and if I want to use them as a pow ski?
Thoughts, comments, concerns?

If your 6'3 I duno how much your going to like them. I think lizzies on someone your height wouldn't be too fun to ski .....Unless your down with butters and have a really playful stye you might want to look into something longer/stiffer.

They are designed to be a short fat park ski. Pollard skis them and he is about 6'1" I believe and he obviously has no trouble with them. There is no answer as to whether or not they will work for you. I would suggest trying to find a pair to try out to see if you like them, that's the only way to know if they will be good for you.

Back in the day, Lizzies were EP's pow ski of choice.  With Line's reactor binding system they could be mounted a true center or -4cm from true center.  How times have changed.

So you're saying now they are bad in pow because they are softer?

If you are skiing powder on Lizzies... then you are skiing powder wrong. They are short and dive like a submarine... They are designed to be a park ski only.
