Replying to Volkl Alley as first skis

My friend just picked up some Volkl Alleys this weekend as his first pair of skis.  He has always used rentals but got into skiing a lot last season so he wanted his own gear.  I think he put Z12's on them.  I was just wondering if this will be a decent first ski for him and if there's anything to watch out for on them.  Haven't really heard much about this ski so I figured I'd ask.  I am guessing they will be used 50% park and 50% groomers and probably be used more in the park as time goes on and he starts doing jumps and jibs.
