Based on my experience with helping friends and family find a good all purpose ride:

First for his age, don't go too long, for eastern snow:

I would highly reccommend: Fischer RX8 in a 160 length...this ski is priced right, carves like a demon and can float in ankle high busted up snow and powder.

This ski is one of the main stays for Fischer and is loved by all who ski it...and again, you should be able to find a great price.

This is without a doubt a ski he can grow with.

It would be great if he could get out and demo....

Now....WHAT KIND OF BOOT IS HE IN....this is way to often over looked and THE SINGLE most important factor in skiing!

Best,
Gary
