So she is like 5'4" 115 and is a moderate skier. I would not say she is very aggresive but she is definately not a beginner. I was thinking that the 159 fujative would we a good ski for her. What are your thoughts on this ski for a girl like that?

Get the 05/07 ones, they're way more durable. One kid I know managed to have all the rivets fall out and the ski delaminate in 1 day, whereas my 05/06 Fujatives lasted.... almost a year before being warrantied.

what kind of skiing does she like to do? they will be decentish if she does a lot of park, but i think she could do better for the money, especially if she likes to ski a good bit of all mountain too.

she would prefer it to be a more all-mountain ski. What about the missdemeanor?

Just got some 159 missdemeanor's for my GF and she loves them. Sounds like she is similar in ability to yours. They turned out to be a great all mountain ski for a decent intermediate looking to get better.

Good luck.
