Alright the girly is wanting to get a pair of skis, but i tihnk it might be hard becuase she is about 5 ft 1ish maybe 2 at the most.  So any suggestions on what to get or anyone have any smaller skis that they are looking to get rid of?

My girlfriend is 5' 2" and we picked up a pair of k2 missies.  I heard fairly good things about them, but she hasn't ridden them yet.  I wish I could give you more info.

lol 160 is way too big I would think. I got an old pair of Team troublemkers 141s, but then again I am in New Zealand and it would cost a bit to ship them

but if she is a good skier she will want 150's or 160's. but beginners should have smaller skis

i think 172 is too long. i am about 5'1", and i ski 150's, which i could handle 160, but i dont have a pair

i have a pair of 04/05(maroon and blue) scratch fs's 168 with look p10 lifters. used for a season and a half. bases and edges are in great condition. topsheets have a some nicks on em but that wont affect anything. they have been on rails but no edge cracks or base damage(nothing that a nice wax wont take out) can wax em and give em a fresh tune at work on thurs. im thinkin $200 shipped. lemme know i can get pics if your bro is interested

The problem with those is that they are stiff as hell.. they wouldn't  be good for a lighter rider
