My friend wants to get new skis. He doesnt really ski park but he wants twins. He loves glade and pretty much skis all mountain aside from hitting jumps in park.

hes around

6'1"

150lbs

95% all mountain

He' set on getting twins, i wanna pick a good pair so i dont get in trouble if there bad haha. Perferably somethign really durable thats sick all mountain. I was thinking Chronics, ARV's. He likes the atomic punx and thugs. He also likes stiff skis.

oh yea, perferably under $500.

thanks!

i'd say k2 extremes if your in ontario. i was putting my buddies dads on them when they came in the shop for demos and they had a blast on them. not to mention durability is not really a question with k2's bombproof. great all mountain ski. also the prophet line up would also be a great choice.

what is he skiing? i realize you said all mountain, but give more detail?
Is he just charging groomers/ice/crud and stuff? i would say fischer addict. I rode it, it was super stiff, a ton of fun for charging because it carved really well and was really sturdy. it also has a ton of pop so you can olly shit on trail, and also have fun in the park (i didnt ski much park)

if its like all mountain ski everything pow/cliffs/trees/ice/groomers then id say maybe kung fujas?

depending on how much width he likes either the Obsethed sick durable ski or maybe even SFB great alround ski (cryptonites if likes smaller width!) Not sure but sally shogun has good specs but have to look up a review for more info!

I'd have to go with Line Blends, I love them and skied the shit out of mine.

If line ever made bigger sizes, I'd say chronic chryptonites.
His wieght might work though. I haven't skied them.
