Im thinking about getting a pair of these. Although these are considered an all mountain ski, do they perform well in the park? Would getting them center mounted help, but not take away from its float in the pow? Also, i cant decide on a 183 because im a little intimidating of taking them into tight trees. Im 6 ft 180 lbs

Write your answer here... At 6ft and 180lbs the elizibeth is way to small for you. The blends work alright in the park maybe a little on the heavy side, do not center mount them, the factory point is around 7 0r 8 cm's back from center I would not go further then maybe 4 or 5 cm's back from center or they will DIVE bigtime in powder.

They will perform well in the park and in the backcountry. There will always be a better park ski, and always be a better backcountry ski, but this is as close as you can get to the best of both worlds in 1 ski. I wouldn't recommend getting them center mounted, pretty much screw yourself over in the powder. Keep the slight back of center stance. If you really want a center mount ski, look at one designed for it. Or, check out the Elizabeth. Fatty ski that could handle the pow while being designed for a fun ride in the park.
