Replying to Help for a friend...Choosing Skis
My best friend growing up just got into skiing last year. He only went for a two week vacation, so the only skis he has ever skied are demo Salomon Pilots or something like that. He is going to be comming to visit for like 10 days this winter and I told him he would be better off just buying something. He has about a $800 cap for skis/boots/bindings. Being a relatively new skier, he has only ever skied all mountain (no park), but I did recommend some twins for him just because it can't hurt to have them. Since he is a relative beginer, I am trying to stear him towards skis that are a little softer, but still in a 175-180 range bc he is about 5'9'' 180. Here is what I have recommended so far, keep in mind price is an issue, also he will be skiing in Colorado-
All of these in stock at Untracked.com
06 PE in a 179 $399
06 Sprayer BC 176 $399
04 1080 in a 181 $339
What others would you recommend?
Keep in mind he has to get boots and bindings to go into the price too.
