Hello
My father is in his 60s and skis maybe 2 to 5x per year. He is at best of lower intermediate skill level and prefers groomed blues and mellow blacks. He has been skiing on Rossignol Zenith Z1s for a very long time. I picked them up the other day to have them tuned and thought, F this, he's getting new skis from me.
So, while few of us on AZ are this skier profile, surely this is as good a place as any for 'what skis are right for him' advice. My gut says look at Rossignol E74 and E78...what about Volkl RTM 80/81. He's not going in the trees or bumps. We are talking Okemo blue groomer heaven. What do you think? He needs something that can do short and med turn shapes, something with very strong edge hold on east coast boilerplate / hardpack, something that won't wear him and is forgiving of crap technique.
I am hoping to find a deal on leftover/2012-13 stuff.
Thank You!
