Hello NS, I need some of your ski knoledge to help me try to find a ski for my friend..

-He is currently riding 171 Salomon 2012s

-wants more of a straight park ski instead of an all mtn/park ski

-weighs 160lbs and is 5"11 - 6 foot tall

-he wants a ski 171 or bigger

Some things he actually wants in the ski are...

-good on rails

-light impact on landings

-not an extremely heavy ski

-he wants to be able to flex them easily

He was currently looking at the 174 Rossignol Scimitar, but from reviews it seemed like it was more of a powder/all mtn ski than just park specific

All help/advice will get +k
 
I'd say he's going to want ski over 178cm. If rockered, even bigger than that. I'd look at the ON3P Filthy Rich if I were him. He'd want a 181 or 186 if he was going to get that ski. He could also look at the Line Traveling Circus ski, although it is a little on the heavier side, it is very flexy. To be honest its hard to find a ski that fits all those categories, so I think he has to sacrifice something. Also keep in mind that the weight of the ski doesn't really matter as much as the swing weight.
 
I would recommend the atomic punx. They are super light and buttery. They lack a little in all mountain performance but it sounds like that he wants a park dedicated ski. Next years will be stiffer and have a little rocker. These are my favorite skis.
