Hey S, the Mantra truly is a great ski. And while your son sounds like a great skier, I have a feeling at 120lbs he would have a very tough time flexing this ski enough to make it useful. I'd look for something a bit softer! Good luck!

Depending on how he skis, this is a really good choice for all-mountain stuff, but like the description says, pretty much expert all-mountain. Another ski, that I find way more versatile personally, is the K2 Kung Fujas, which is about the same waist dimensions, and has the ability to kill park, pow, groomers, and glades. If he is aggressive/expert skier, then for sure the Mantra would work out for him.
