I'm looking for skis for my son. We live in North Dakota, so we have no demo opportunities, and our local ski shop carries only Volkls. The owner suggested Supersport Allstars for my son.
He is 13 years old, 5'10", 165 pounds. I consider him a strong intermediate skier, advancing steadily. With luck we will manage 4 days of mountain skiing each year; around here we ski mostly man-made snow (groomed and often icy). We have been renting skis at the local ski shop (because the places within a 2-hour drive have crap to rent) - Head C120, which he feels are OK. In Montana he rented Rossi Bandit B2, which he loved.
Is the Allstar an appropriate choice for him? My big concern is that he can't try them out, and because they are on sale, we're stuck with them. I'd like something he can have fun on now, but not outgrow in a year.
