Beginner skier or beginner park skier? If he can already ski to a decent level, which he should do if he's entering the park at all, then you should both know the boots don't particularity matter, as long as they fit well.

Skis wise, try and grab something from last year.

It's a shame Line don't do the Tigernsnake model anymore as they were the perfect entry level park ski, but the TW skis are spot on really for the price.

Bindings, again, do not really matter for entry level. I'd go with Marker bindings ideally, the squires are cheap and pretty sturdy, or Griffin if it fits the budget.

I bet we could drum up something for him at Slope Style. We have most sizes of the Drop Kick Pro from Full Tilt for only 239.99. Then it'd be easy to find him a full ski set up for around 400-500 no problem. Feel free to message me with questions and what size ski he may be looking for. I'd recommend making sure about boot size and possibly going to a fitter to determine the boot size needed though.

If the guy weights over 100lbs he shouldn't buy squires

Hmmm, by Squires did me just fine for 2 seasons are hucking.

Then again, I only weigh 150lbs, so I'm not particularly heavy. I've got Warden 13s now as I'm a far better skier than I was 2 seasons ago.

Spend 400 dollars on boots that fit, 400 on skis and bindings

This. Not necessarily those numbers but spend the biggest chunk of money on boots, they are the last thing you want to cheap out on. Good boots, bindings that are DIN range-appropriate, and most of the cheap twins are gonna be just fine for learning (ARV, K2 Press, etc)
