Line Elizabeth 2008

Line, Elizabeth, 2008

Although the Elizabeths have massive dimensions they come in a quite short length- only 172cm. For this you get a ski that can still be spun, skidded, turned and generally played around with even though they are 139 at the tip and 110mm underfoot. In effect you have a couple of snowboards strapped to your feet and they are good fun but do take a little getting used to- they really ain't for ripping carves into firm European or East Coast snows.
Line have again furnished us with a stunning graphic and the Elizabeths look the part even off the snow but for fun loving, thrill seeking and an alternative perspective on skiing the Elizabeths will be hard to beat.
Expert riders to Pros.

The manufacturer says this about the Line, Elizabeth, 2008:

Upon her introduction two seasons ago Elizabeth established a completely new standard for freestyle performance in the backcountry. Entirely designed by Eric Pollard, from the shape to the graphics the Elizabeth's is a super fun ski, with a snowboard-like feel and agility that simply doesn't exist in any other ski. This is Eric's ski of choice for riding everything from the backcountry to the park. Soon it will be yours too.
