he probably isn't now, but allready has experience. also 40 days is much more than average and with an instructor i think he will soon reach a level good enough.
here in europe snow is often lacking, so you find hard artificial, it later melts in moguls dkisuring the day, sometimes really iced. i had a pair of cheap rossi pursuit that used in semi-offpiste but i trashed them in 5 days and became uncontrollable, i also had elan allmountain and were simply not enough. i rented a few racecarve skis, ok-ish meh... not any better than the allmountain.
tried the rossignol LT ad are ok, head rebels speed also ok. but then i tested proper head GS and could finally feel really OK. SL are also useful for exercising, but i fear for my knees.
in my opinion with 40 days you must have some proper GS or SL, ok maybe you can start with a pair of allmountain but then buy a proper GS or "similarGS"
also consider that 40 days is probably near the average duration of a modern ski,
Again, which 'Speed'? There are three skis made by Head that have 'speed' in their description.
Lot's of 'I'... maybe more 'OP'. I think he's looking for something that might also ski some bumps and shallow off piste as well as building carving skills.
