My girlfriend needs a pair of twins, and as I don't know a lot about female specific skis I need some help.

She's pretty petite, 5,4, 112lb, advanced skier but she wants to get into more park/pipe now, aswell as skiing groomers/pow.

Armada Cantika?

Thanks for any help.

Doesn't matter.  All she needs are some skis to have fun on.  the Moment womens line looks really sick though.

ive had missdemeanors for a while and they are really fun skis. ive tried a lot of other womens skis like them and ive found that they are the best all around ski. (for me...)   they might not be the absolute best in certain areas... like pow. but they still ride great in it. they are super fun on groomers and just messin around too...

I'm about 5'6" / 120 and have mostly skied men's skis and been perfectly happy with them,  but if she's looking for a women's specific ski... I demoed the newer version of the ARW (07/08 and 08/09) in a 166 about a year ago and it was one of the funnest skis I've ever tried. Poppy, playful, lively, and light. It would be great for park and all mt. but probably meh in pow.

If she wants something a little better in pow that's still fun in park, she could try the ARVw. It's new for this winter and I haven't tried it, but I had the 06/07 165 ARV and it was awesome. I miss that ski and regret selling it, so I'd imagine the ARVw would be pretty legit.

If she's skiing a good bit of pow and is comfortable w/ fat skis in park, some other good options would be Line Pandora or K2 nancy/missbehaved...also look into Moment's Women's line - heard great things about them, but haven't skied em personally so don't know what would suit her best...
