Elizabeth or Watch Life's? ..just answer the question

The only skis I own right now are EP Pros. Laugh if you want!
UT hasn't exactly been having the best snow for those just yet. I need a good all around ski and it's between either the Elizabeth or Watch Life because of price/preference. Eventually I want both the Elizabeths and the Watch Life, (and a big mountain ski) but what would you guys say should come first? Money got really tight. I'm thinking the 183 watch life would make for a good ripper crud, park, ice, groomer ski. I also love the Elizabeths and skied on them just about everyday last season. Would like to have a ski that can venture into the bumps and more technical stuff though occasionally. I'm 5'11 140lbs.
it's snowing in the SLC valley!

I havent skied either but I have the Watch lifes for this season. I wouls think if you have the EP pros there is no need for another wide ski (unless you prefer wide a lot). I would say watch lifes becasue they are cheaper if your tight on money and prob a bit more versitle on non pow days becuase they are huge

I hear there's only like 20 more pairs of elizabeths left at the factory. We gotta get them while they're hot!

Maybe if I have all skis that are >100 at the waist, it will snow more?

nope, that means it won't snow. I'd get the watch lifes first, that way you have a ski for when it's deep, and one for when it's not

I feel you man. I've skied all of them. bacons, eliz, etc... and now own watchlifes. They're sick. nice flex. snappy. good all around. Get them.
My suggestion is to mount them +3 or 4 that'd be -4 or 3 from true center respectively.

I would probably stick with the Elizabeths. From what I have read about them, they hold up great everywhere especially in the deep stuff. They only negative thing i heard about them was that if you were a heavier person they might be too soft but you being at 5'11" 140lbs they should be perfect. Line has a lot of meaningful and understandable tech in their skis, not just a bunch of tech that doesnt make sense check it out http://www.thejibshop.com/docs/line_skis_tehnology.html

elizabeth's b/c the watch life's will overlap usage with ep pros wheras the lizzies are really have a different purpose than ep pros
