My friend is going into his second year skiing, he rented last year and wants to buy this year. He’s looking for skis and bindings for under 650$. He wants all mountain skis. Any recommendations are welcome.

I’ve gotta say that the amount of good deals you can get on eBay, fb, and sideline swap is insane. I’m so about pushing used gear onwards. What exactly is he looking for besides making the mountain his playground?

He’s a beginner to intermediate skier, 6,1, 180 pounds. We ski mostly trees and powder but dabble in park.

Does he value park or trees or powder more?
