my lil bro needs a one ski quiver, its been awhile since ive dedicated time to looking for a new ski, can anybody help out?
stats:
age - 17
weight - 154 lbs (70 kg)
height - 5' 8
5% park 45% off piste 40% groomers

pretty aggressive skier and strong athlete, skis perhaps 14 days a year, not looking to do anything serious in the park but will be skiing some reasonable slack country/occasional cat skiing and beyond gates stuff, although not looking for a touring set up. Just looking for a good all round ski which holds up in the pow and for a reasonable price. thanks

Bdogs are the exact same shape as halo 2 just a tad bit softer

line SFB for playfulness
line sick day or salomon q 98 for easy riding and all mountain
Any thing stiff for charging like mantra or cochise but that may be too much for you
Opus, k2 shreditor 120 or salomon rocker 122 for powder
overall best all mountain id say k2 shreditor 102, SFB, maybe atomic theory(check in this) and rossignol soul 7 ( also very easy to ski and great in most conditions)

nothing too steep he'd be happy to pay extra for more quality though

I have the Sick day and I am the same size and weight.. Haven't tried them yet, but I suspect that the will be very fun! pretty stiff and pretty light:) I have them in the biggest size 186 and that seems about right :) Will review them when I get a chance to ride them:)
