I am shopping for my son...Christmas. He is 17 years old 5'11 and about 170 pounds. Currently riding Salomon 1080's and he rips the entire mountain, steeps, chutes, trees, bumps etc. We ski mostly in Washington and BC. What is your take on the Hazmat and bamboo laminate core.

The bambo core makes the hazmat lively, poppy and light. a fun versitil ski, liberty did have problems with duribility a few years ago, but have gotten it sorted out since then. Since you don't say what model 1080 he skis (gun, foil, thruster) it's hard to say if these are right for him. they are very versitil and can do it all, if you guys tend to ski more powder then not, i would go with a wider ski. 181 would be a good size for unless he really charges hard then go 186.
