New all mountain ski

so my friend is looking for a new all mountain ski. He is about 5'7" and I would say like 125lbs. He is a good skier and is just starting to ski park but does more steeps and trees. So this ski will need to be able to hold up well in pow/park/and groomers. He had PEs last year but he thinks they are to stiff. I was thinking Kung Fujas or ARVs.

The Kung Fujas might be a little too stiff if he thought PEs were stiff, because they're fatter and have sidewalls.  The ARV isn't a bad choice though.  Maybe Volkl Bridges/Walls or Rossi Ghetto/Brigade

you do realize how stiff the prophet series is dont you? have you ever flexed them, or even read any review on them?


salomon gun could be good, the older seths, like 07 and back, rossi brigades, rossi S5, line chronic or chronic wide, dynastar big troubles

Chronics are not what he needs!
They are stiff to start with and they aren't going to be much use in powder

how the fuck am i a retard, all of those skis would be perfect for what he described, chronics are pretty stiff but they dont feel as dead as pe's and they arent too stiff

dude he doesnt need a rocker, he weighs 125 pounds. 07 seths would be great for him because he skis all mountain park and pow and that is a great 1 ski quiver
