Bought him some 08 max Peter pros ( rasta 9 bases) a few years back and he loved um. His first twins and shape skis.

Now I'm taking him to breck this winter and he said he wanted a new pair since his days of skiing are slowly coming to an end. He is calling these his bucket list skis so I wanna get him something special.

So what skis are y'all pops skiing and loving. He's old and pretty sure any ski I get him he'd love.

Looking for a ski he can just cruise on and enjoy the life of a ski bum, a nice carving ski 170ish


Thanks y'all

I'm at work so I'm prob missing some info so just call me out if so

My dad has the atomic blackeye ti and loves them. Ive seen a lot of other old dudes rockin' them too. Great carving, and it can handle a bit of pow too.

My dad uses libtech freerides for his carving ski and loves them. They are pretty stiff and the magne traction makes them have super good edge hold. Also if these are his bucket list skis he can probably afford to buy libtechs.

My dado loved the rocker 90 last season. It's the old lord so a great little all mtn carver. Or you could look at the atomic alibi. That sol really well last year, nice easy ski again.
