my dad needs an all mountain ski because his edge ripped out of his old ones. he can get either next years line blend or influence 115 now from a rep but he is worried that the influence might be too fat and neither of us really know much about the blend. he is about 5'10" and 220lb and and expert skier. also open to other suggestions

i know its not on the list, but it sounds like the line prophet 100 would be good for him if he is skiing all mountain.

my dad absolutely LOVED skiing on my 2010 surface watch lifes (182cm). He's 6 foot 2 inches and 200 lbs.
not sure if that really helps but thought I'd chime in hah

no, he's 220 pounds and not a park skier, therefore he'll find them super soft and hate them. Any line prophet series ski would be good if your stuck on line.
If not, look into Rossi s3's, salomon shoguns, on3p vicik, wrens, and billy goats, and volkl gotama's or mantra's. Try to look for skis that are stiff, around 100-110 underfoot, and slight rocker with camber underfoot.

ya he like the s3s and prophet 100s but his edge pulled out of his skis he has now and he needs a ski fast for our trip out west and those 2 he can get for dirt cheap from a rep. otherwise i think he would really want the s3 or prophet
