i would grab some Line masterminds. light weight, can handle the groomers, softer flex so it handles a great learning curve and relativel cheap.

definitely check out the line chronics. I'm exactly how you are and I have loved and ridden mine 3 years.

Boom. I agree. If you want a stiffer ski that can handle jumps the chronic cryptonites are perfect. 92 waist gives you just enough width to tackle slush, a little powder, groomers, and it rips in the park. I love mine and they're holding up great.

next year, they also have the regular chronic(I'm pretty sure), so you also have a little bit of choice. Is this your first park ski?

they'll be way to small for him and if he's new to park/skiing in general he might not like the rocker..

Rossignol S3's. my first year skiing park, but also love big mountain. Fatter than most park skis, but you'll be fine.

Bluehouse Antics. Great skis for cheap.

They are stiff as a horse who just snorted 8 viagras and poppy as shit.

yeah he skis with me in NC. we get the occasional powder day, but nothing that a park ski can't handle if you know what you're doing.

What do you guys think about the afterbangs? Idk if he has his weight in the thread but he probably won't need a very stiff ski and our shop had them for $215 when we went in the other day.
