You should definitely get some soul 7s, not quite 110 waist but with all that sidecut they float like a 120!

Is it "for a friend?" It's not a big deal, everybody rides soul 7s, some will even tell you they're great skis. Do you have any kids? They're perfect for any man skiers with children.

Depends on what you mean by "maneuver" — some are easy to turn because of how easy they are to pivot / slide on the snow, while others are maneuverable because they are easy to flick around in the air. But in general, here would be my top picks:

- Blizzard Spur
- Volkl Revolt 121
- K2 Catamaran
- Atomic Bent Chetler 120
- Moment Wildcat
- Dynastar PR-OTO Factory
- Line Outline
- Salomon QST 118
- DPS Wailer 112
- DPS Lotus 124
- Rossi Super 7 HD

And then you've got super fat skis like the DPS Lotus 138, Praxis Protest & Powderboards, etc., but those are pretty niche.

the line mordecai is super easy to turn. and obviously the shorter you go with more rocker the easier it is to transition edge to edge. Pollard's line is meant to be surfy and change direction quickly.. as for your "side project" you can learn a lot more from the ski company's website than you can from a bunch of bums who browse a forum in the summer.
