The big question is will this be the only ski he uses...I would get these skis(elizabeths) if its the only ski he will be using since the underfoot is 110mm...however, if he will be using these new skis as powder skis get the sir francis bacons because they are more specialized for powder. Either way it should be a great ski...i have friends with both and love them. Also for bindings I would recommend either the marker griffons or jesters.

I'd hook him up with the Bacon due to it being a shade stiffer (for airs, steeps, and rough terrain). The Bacon is also a little fatter and not quite as park ski-ish as the 'Liz. Either way, he'll be pretty stoked, but if he's a side country shred, the Bacon may be the way to go.
