STARTING skiing? The 720's cheaper and at that level she won't be able to tell the difference. Or Scratch nothings, if you want higher-level skis.

if shes starting skiing she most defineatly doesnt need a twin, but if you insist on it, 720's are good and you can get the old old mad trix for cheap now on ebay.

she'll probably want a softer ski, so I think the 1080 or 720 would be a good choice. If she's just learning how to ski though, she might be better off on a pair of cheap shaped skis until she gets comfortable on skis in general. I wouldn't recommend taking her into the park until she's at least comfortable riding down more difficult blue runs, or easier black diamonds.

161 teneighty
151 teneighty
151 teneighty

She should probably be riding either the 161 or the 151 depending on her height. The shorter ski would be easier to control and learn on.

i definetely would buy a twin; why not? they are good for regular skiing, not just park specific stuff, plus it leaves your options open.

i would suggest trying to find something used though to start off with, just to test things out like flex/size etc. no need to waste money right off the bat.
