my friend is in need of skis, he is 6'1" and probobly gonna end up at 6'3-4" and is in need of an allmountain/park ski. any suggestions
 
i have a pair of Dynastar Intuitive 69C with autodrive in a 180 with tyrolia binding(demo binding with full diagonal heel). they were skied like skied about 5 times.
 
4frnt 187 msp, look into it. that sounds just like me height wise. I'm like 6'3. If you are going to be doing a lot of park though go with 183 stls, they are really easy to handle and work all over the mountain.
 
get a pair of last years eric pollard pros in the 186. it does well in park and all mountain, while the 186 length should suit him well.
 
how long will it take him to get 6'3" or 6'4"? What if he never gets that tall? A park ski in a 182ish would be better but if he's got a good deal on 179's why not get them?
 
because even if he stays 6'1" (which he thnks he won't) the 186 would still be a killer all-mountain/park ski. and i'll bet he could find last years pollards for cheap as hell.
 
wern't last years pollards kinda heavy? A 185 arv would be good. Super light witha ton of flex. It would ski way shorter.
 
no the pollards weren't heavy. no you don't want to get the arv's over them. and no, you don't want your fucking skis to "ski shorter".

it's quit time.
 
i'm not saying you would want it to feel shorter or longer. It just would feel shorter because it's a lot softer.
 
here you listed it as an advantage-
