Could a beginning skier be able to ride this ski, and then really improve?
I'm trying to find my friend a ski that he can use for 4+ years, and by then he will be a good, advanced skier by then.

That is a tricky question that depends on a lot of variables. First, is where your friend plans on skiing. If he wants to end up in the park and the groomers, this ski can handle that, but if he wants to progress into a variety of terrain which may include softer snow, you may want to look at something like the Nomad, which is more versatile. Also, your friend should not base his ski choice on 4 years from now, say he learns quickly, and within one season wants a much beefier ski for big mountains, or perhaps you pick an expert ski for him, but then he does not have fun on said ski, and then no longer wants to pursue the sport. Also, the body dimensions of your friend should be taken into account when choosing. Good Luck!
