    There are 2 options that would work.
    1) Solitude 160(I think Italy might be out of these) or possibly a 164, depends if he likes a little longer board for powder or high speeds.
    Quadrax glass-4 layers of glass 0/+-30/90 degrees, the nicest glass I have ever worked with
    Kevlar
    Sintered Base(ISO7500 is fairly common, but is a really good base material)
    Structurn-my favorite base finish which is the best at working in all snow types & is the fastest base finish for everything
    Sidecut is slightly progressive, little more pop off the tail

    2) Mainframe(which is 80euros cheaper) 157,162,165
    Biax Glass- but the core is profiled differently, so it's very stable
    Extruded base, but it has structurn, the only difference is that it doesn't hold wax for quite as long as the sintered material

    Both boards had great reviews in Europe & the States, the favorite of our line was the Solitude. The Solitude is a little wider than the Mainframe, although the Mainframe does have a wide board in a 159/163

    If you can't find anything or have more questions then let me know.
