im looking for a good skie for east coast pow/tree skiing and a lot of butters and just a fun ski for everything but park. I no lizzies are designed for all park but i like the flew patteren and width of them. But i really like the Surface TJ. I dont know about eh live life 2 because of the rocker idk how that would hold up on groomers and the little powder east coast gets. I am 14, 5.9/10ish, 155 pounds, and have been skiing pretty hard for about 4 years. discuss...

the surface tj's are pretty stiff, reeeeal bomber ski. i haven't skied on them personally but a bunch of people i know do and love them.
i've skied the live life 2, and it's pretty much amazing. i've only skied it on hardpack so far and no problem rippin turns, the rocker is real sick, real nice for butters since the rockered areas are flat, it's easier to stay on your tips or tails.

it sounds like you'd be stoked on the live life 2.

i think the beths would be sweet for what you need, fat and fun and short enough to throw around in the trees.... i cant speak on the surfaces though, dont know much about them
also IMO the hellbents would be over kill for the east coast, there will be people that say otherwise but lets be realistic, a huge rockered ski like that on the icecoast? i cant see it but hey power to the people that can

I live on the east coast (Montreal) and I have center mounted hellbents They are THE MOST fun skis I have ever been on in my life!! From pow stashes to groomers to buttering to park I have never had more fun on any ski!! They are surprisingly nimble for a big ski and are just amazing anywhere you take them. I just thought I should mention this. THEY ARE SO MUCH FFFUUNN!!!
