tomPietrowskiNot really. An old beat ski wit shitty bindings may well hold the skier back far more then having non twin tip skis for example.
Op. We need much more details from you regarding your stats. Somebody posted some good questions above. Answer those and we may be able to help.
Never said they were beat up skis...I've seen some demo park skis I my local ski shop with not a lot of damage and not too pricey...if he likes what he rides then he can upgrade

Oh ok yeah buying a decent ski which has been demoed is certainly not the same as buying old skis. Demo skis will generally be 5-10% less then New skis on sale so they could be worth it if your buying at the end of the season. In general though a price point New ski will be the best bet for a beginner.
