Well if you want to bring 2 pairs with you out west?

What would you bring?

I currently have some Volkl Wall's true center with jesters.

I feel I need a pow ski, but I want to hear what you guys would bring.

no....

chances are this kid is going out west with his family...to a resort...where they have lifts you know. Also, if the kids only pair of skis are park skis do you really think he has the experience and knowledge to be touring around? no

If you are looking for a pow ski just for one trip I would say demoing is your best bet.
