Ok. Well he could find an old pair of 184s.
But Ellen kicks ass - if she had a beard it would be much more haggard. -Jer

186 OG LP for an icy mole hill IMO.

Another factor for a patrol daily driver is that twin tips are an issue for pulling a sled because you're spraying the poor soul behind you in the sled. That's something seasoned patrols have in mind when choosing a ski to patrol on. Are there people working patrol on twins? Sure, but as I say, it isn't ideal.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Best Single-Quiver ~100 Waist Ski
Meh, we never worried about it, just burrito the patients up good. What I did find is that a full twin was VERY functional for sideslipping down steep mogul runs with a sled, or ANY mogul runs for that matter). They don't snag and you can back up easily. Very handy.
All that said, if I was patrolling on some midwest mole hill there's no way I'd want anything over about 75mm under foot. He should be able to pick something up in the $50-100 range used for that purpose. Then buy a real ski on pro for trips out west. Or buy a real ski used if he's that cheap.Last edited by beaterdit; 10-12-2019 at 10:24 PM.
There's nothing better than sliding down snow, and flying through the air

They tend to be heavy, but they're also generally pretty cheap used. Race skis tend to loose value real quick when they get more than a year old.
There are absolutely better quiver of one skis for patrolling on largely hard snow, but for value, a pair of well maintained, lightly used (ie not down to minimal base or edge left) slaloms would be my target. If you happen across a great deal on a better all-around skinny ski, by all means, but I've seen two-year-old slalom skis new in plastic for under $300 because racers tend to be committed to staying current.
