Shes 12, 5'2", what size would you recommend?

Now once i find out what size ill need to find a pair, looking for brand new and if not almost new.  Year doesn't matter.  Post up some small skis you have layin around or some sites that have new ones for a decent price... thanks

those would be too small.  Im 5 1" and i ride 151 rossi scratch brigade pros. 

Look for a lightweight ski, from my opinion, girls dont like really heavy skis..
