i suggest, the old line assassins because they have a bit of a tip incase she wants to go switch, or pretty much anycheap, basic ski. by prettymuch anyother company. just go to a store and ask a guy that works there that is helpin out for the skiing section and tell him that she just wants a basic carving ski. a good idea is if shes starting get twin tips because if she doesnt liek skiing and she goes back to somethign else or gives up u have anotehr pair of skis for urself. like if she gives them 2 u

i dont really know much about 'non twins' but the scratch fs and TM's carve as good as any non twintipped skis i've ridden.

jibbing would be the final goal...but she has to get down the hill first

Get her some K2 women's skis.....don't go twin-tip at first. A women's carving ski will allow her to build her confidence and skills quicker than she will on a twin-tip. No sense forcing her and having her get hurt/ scared etc so she never wants to ski again........o, and trust me......my gf can ski in the park and pipe on her K2's when she feels like it and does just ok

Great gear cheap @ Jackson's Ski Outlet
