ok...so my girlfriend is wants to get into skiing and she's gone with me a few times and wants skis of her own now. i already hooked her up with 1080 boots and 912ti's from my shop for super cheep but now she needs skis. she will be mostly carving but also wants to jump and learn to grind. what ski would be best for her? i was thinkin 1080's cause they are great all around skis. any suggestions?

get her line prophets.. she'll be able to handle em.. im just kidding, that would be the absolute WORST thing in skiing history.. i'd go with 1080's or PE's (only if you paint the PE's though)

pocket rockets are good all mountain skis. i have them and i love them. but then again, like someone else already said, everyone's gonna have thier own opinion, so do a bit of research yourself to narrow it down to a few choices, then come with her and have her pick out which ones she likes. nice of you to help her out, and good choice on the boots and bindings, I've got the same set up and they're both great.

Atomic tweak or scratch fs. I friend of mine has the 1080 (171cm) and loves them to death, but I haven't tried them. If she's an aggressive skier, she'll be able to handle the scratch or the tweak. Otherwise, go with something like the 1080.

Go for the 1080s, they seem to be decent enough. But just make sure she

If you can find them cheap (ebay for $250), you can get little big fats in a 158cm. They are pretty light, and the wide base would be great for landings and it would get the base parallel to the rail easier. Otherwise the PE or some lines are usually great for lighter skiers.

i dont know why people are suggestiing PE's for a lighter skier. Besides V Pro's and Mad Trix and MAYBE AR5's, PE's are one of the stiffest twin tips on the market. of course you never mentioned how big she was. but if she is smaller/lighter, 1080's in a 161 are a good bet, as are 164 1260's, both in the size range you mentioned, both very light, and easy to ski

the fujatives are great all mountain skis. my friend who skis all mountain all day every day sold his new PEs after he got the 79 fujatives and rides those top to bottom every day. as for skis for you chick i would say 169 PE or Pistol. sho will probly like the pistol cause it isnt too stiff and a great carving ski

she's like 5'11',thin and athletic (#1 high jumper for a D2 college). She loves the pistols but they might be a little fat as we are in south central minnesota.

show her pictures of the TM, PE, 1080 and Tweak and let her pick out the prettiest ones, because that's what seems to matter to most chicks.
