[Funnel]

Prophets for sure.

 

[ilikeplants]

Karhu Team 100

 

[LukeB.]

k thankksss =]]]

 

[mmckechnie]

Prophet 100s maybe Obsethed

 

[brenker]

the new 100s are so sick, even just ripping down steeps...id def go with that

 

[Z_rob]

Prophets? obsetheds? maybe jj's?

 

[[~_~]]

I got my dad a pair of LL2s and he LOVES them.

 

[ReedSkis~]

yeah my dad got the Jason Eichhorst LTD surfaces and he loves too.

Dads love surface

 

[LukeB.]

haha k kool. any suggestions for bindings?

 

[headlight]

From Armada's skis the ARV is backcountry /pow/ all mtn and will do the groomers and park & pipe. Great utlity. For pow and all mtn mount them to factory spec line... or the less expensive El Rey that is more of a carver than big mtn pow.

Unless your dad is either a pretty aggressive skier or a big dude, he should be fine in a 12 din binding.

 

[Bumblesteeze]

line sir francis bacons !

 

[amo]

classic standard camber ski that rips pow and groomers.Moment Ruby.180, 188, or 190 depending on how big he is. you cant go wrong there.

I just bought my dad Rossignol S7s for the same style of skiing, so far he loves them. But I can also say the Line Sir Francis Bacon is hard to beat in versatility in pow, groomers, and in general shit.

 

[katana190]

Volkl gotama's with jester bindings. 105 mm in the waist wide enough for pow but stiff enough for all over.

 

[cct_222]

yea i'd say prophets, maybye motherships or bacons too

 

[Dr_Feelgood]

how about moment tahoes?? also check out the k2 line (kung fujas, obsethed, hellbents)

 

[Dr_Feelgood]

and depending how much your dad weighs, definitely take a look at marker jesters or griffons for bindings. id say if he is an advanced skier and charges hard into pow lines then go for jesters. if he's more of a groomer skier then griffons should do fine.

 

[LukeB.]

k thanks =]

I bought my dad a pair of the Armada ARV's, great for him adjusting to the newer skis. they are the shortest (185) softest and fattest ski he had ever had and he loves them check it out

$420 is a great price

 

[regge]

k2 seths

I've ridden the S6's, SFBacons, Icelantic Nomads, and Salomon Shoguns and all are well suited for the kind of skiing it seems your dad will do. I would be happy to have any of those ski's waiting in my garage.

 

[LukeB.]

thanks a lot man =]

 

[PaleCelery]

Invaders!

Just kidding.

 

[LukeB.]

lol thas what im shredding right now haha

 

[brenker]

motherships? doubt his dad wants a huge pow ski..

 

[Clifford996]

,

 

[Silence]

Salomon Gun is an option

 

[Love_Wins.]

GUN LAB 188s...jea!

Depending on how his dad skis, that is.

 

[benk]

I'm trying to get my dad on karhu team 100's i think theyre the same as the prophet just different name on them. also I would look at getting him an AT binding. i had my dad get on Fristchi's about 5 years ago and he loves touring now.

Moment Ruby also seems like what youre looking for

 

[Love_Wins.]

Different flex for tele, same shape.

 

[Ccannons]

Yeah the prophets are supposed to be really great and my dad really loves them. Obsethed are also good

 

[TerraceSkier18]

4frnt VCTs or some rossi S5's maybe. My dad was looking at those. The prophets also sound like a good idea.
