So you're looking for a good park ski?  Afterbang or Anthem might be good for you.  I would go for the Anthem though.

What are you looking to do with them? Mostly park? The bamboo core skis are pretty light (on3p, liberty), both are good brands., although not the cheapest.

A quick search yielded this:

Department of goods:
160 Rossi S3 - 300
158 Scott P3 - 350
160 Dynastar TroubleMakers - 250

Evogear:
150/160 Rossi S2 -270
158 Rossi S1 -216

getboards:
166 Line Afterbang -300
161 Line Anthem - 279
167 4frnt Click - 279

Your local shop:
Probably screamin' deals on last years skis

Also "sniagrab" is coming up if you live in Denver or Salt Lake..

I would think he would need longer skis though...

Even though he's used to the short skis, I'm sure he'd like longer skis more.  I would say skis between 165 and 172 or so.

for that price range you really wont be able to find a new ski that can do everything. Anthems seem like a good choice tho if you can find them. They'll be able to handle a little powder and should be fun and buttery in the park.
