@Mendieta's original post. Consider that he is relatively new to skiing, and has something like 60-70 days under his belt. He is seeking a ski to essentially help him further improve his skills. He loves the sport, and works hard at it.
He also tends to ski in the area of the Tahoe Basin. He has skied with
@Philpug, and PP's suggesting a easy to ski, and rewarding, versatile carver. One that will give him the feedback when he does it right, and will not hammer him when he no doubt does not. He's climbing up a learning curve.
One of our adult kids lives there. One lives in the High Rockies. We ski predominantly at our home at Sugarloaf in Maine. The three are entirely different in terms of the weather and their snow surfaces. I think considering where he skis is important. He also often skis with his child or children. So having a ski that will be "OK" when he skids, slides, smears would probably be good.
IMO, he's not looking for a high performance carver, a citizen race ski, etc. Think easy, game improvement carver. Something that he can grow with and ski for a few seasons.
I suspect that there is good reason why Phil recommended the Rally as one choice. For a "carver", it's both versatile and forgiving. Skis well in all sorts of terrain. Bumps, trees, even fresh soft snow.
