Looking for some input on skis for my husband, he is a 5'8" 200lbs aggressive skier. He skis mostly off trail and likes to hit the mogul runs. We ski in Idaho and take a ski trip to the sierras every year. He has been skiing rossignol z11s in a 170 for the last few years. I also had the z11s but I demoed and bought the rossignol s3w at the end of the season. I was not able to drag him along for the demos. Now that I've got new skis he'll be wanting some as well. I have considered the S3 for him but everything I've read has me wondering if he'll overpower them. I did demo some other skis and on the basis of that I have some other thoughts on what he might like. I think he might like the Bonafides but I know he's wanting a twin tip. They are also pretty well sold out everywhere from what I can see. So should I go with the S3? If so, what size? Is there something like the bonafide that is a twin?
