Big skis for my Dad

Hey, I am trying to find skis for the old man. He skis deep pow, he skis whistler, only goes up on big snow days and he is a super aggressive skier. He weights around 200 pounds. I am looking for skis a least 190 in length, wide, (pow/big mtn. skis) stiff and they would preferably be very durable. Can be used, but need to be in extremly good shape, with bindings or without. Looking to get a local deal(Vancouver/whistler etc.), but just throw all of your stuff out and we will see if we can work something out if you live far away. PM me or just post in the thread. Thanks a million.

Dosent matter if they are twins or not. If i ever saw my Dad ski switch my eyes would pop out of my head. That being said, if they are twins they need to be at least 193s....

I have some 186 LP's I'd sell for the right price, but those would probably be too short.  I think there's a pair of 195 B3's for sale in gearswap if those aren't too soft for him.  Other than that, you could probably score some 193 supermojos for cheap on ebay or TGR, just be ready for a delam (until then they are INSANE skis!).  I've also seen quite a few pairs of 194 LP's on ebay for around $500-650 which is an awesome deal.  If he does end up wanting some Squads, have him get the 189's unless he eats full grown men for breakfast and wears a viking helmet.  If that's the case the 194's will be right up his alley.
