My dad has been skiing atomic metrons for like 10 years but is getting the crimsons or savages this year. He wants a pow ski too he is 6 feet tall and about 180 lbs. I'm thinking he would like jj's bent chetlers or rocker 2's. You think he should get a 185ish or 195ish? He will only be using these on pow days and he only skis like 10 days a year
 
my dad got rocker2's and likes them alot because he can still carve on groomers with them and that an esential because he used to race
 
I'd stay away from the more Jibby pow skis like JJ and the Bent. Unless your dads throwin 3's off backcoutry booters. Look for somthing more directional. Like the k2 pontoon, K2darkside, or Icelantic shaman. With a more directional ski and less rocker in the back will be better for chop.
 
He loves throwin "helicopters", dropping cliffs, and flat out charging. He is big on carving though and idk what ski does all these
 
my dad is 5'10", never does tricks, and has a boner for his 186 JJ's

he demo'd those, Nordica Patron's, and rocker 2's, and liked the JJ's the best

just my 2 cents
 
Tell him to go on backcountry.com and chat with them online. they can help out to give him some Ideas of skis that fit what he wants. other wise just wait til winter and demo a bunch.
 
Sounds like he'd enjoy the Wrenegade or Cease and Desist. If you dont need a large floaty tail for landing switch in pow, go with a directional powder ski designed around a traditional mount point.
 
If he skis a sum total of 10 days a year, and only wants to use the big planks on pow days, they might get used 2 days of the year. Might as well just get a rockered carving ski... Salomon BBR springs to mind. Then spend the rest on hookers, blow and partying.
