post your skiing style, do you charge, do you like switch in pow, where do you live, what kind of terrain do you ski, do you want it for skiing or bc booters, and i wouldnt suggest the 09jjs for rails as they only have a 1.7mm edge and thats a lot of money in a ski to be throwing at rails. as for the other skis, post all that stuff as well as how often youre skiing pow.

i have bacons, im 6' 170lbs(pds?) they are super soft and a lot of fun to play with, riding them in the park is awesome i love it . depending on what you want in a ski i would recommend either the bacons or the blends, the blends are not quite as fat but, i would imagine, they are a bit more versatile. dont take my word on that because i have only hand flexed them, they are stiffer then the bacons.

yes but are you 6'?  having owned two pairs of elizabeths I agree that he would be too big for him, Bacons would be better if going that route.
