haha dude 1- eat food 2- suspects and bacons are totally opposite. bacons are crazy good for pow, suspects are a park ski. blends are a good blend. chronics are like blends but a bit more park orientated cuz they skinnier. anthems kill in park. depends on what you want

cmon...maybe ppl need to start giving better advice and start thinking too. Kid is 110 lbs. Blends are not going to be the right ski. You need a soft ski, since a soft ski is probably still going to take some work for you to flex....look at the anthem or suspect i guess

I agree, I guess it depends on how much pow you want to ski, but lizzies or anthems would both be a good bet~

you guys are missing the point...he's 110 pounds. I can agree that the new  blends aren't as stiff as the previous ones but i still think theyd own this kid unless he's aggressive as an angry rhino

is there really anything wrong with that if he did? The suspects, although they dont have quite as much support underfoot as the anthems, they are bigger in the tip and ive seen pow being rocked in suspects. That said, suspects were really meant for big booters and wont be a great and forgiving ski for you. I would say go with the anthems, very playful, soft, and forgiving..also invader,s just a step down from the anthem and they would kill for your weight

why would he rather go for the anthems than the reno rockers? length? is it the right size for him at 181?

go with spirals, they have sickest graphics, lighter than anthems (because of the lack of a carbon ollie band) and beautiful... sound perfect for you

or LIZZIES!
