Skis for my mom

So, I decided for Christmas this year, I'm going to buy my mom a new pair of skis. I decided I want to get her K2 missdemeanor, with her venturing out west every once in a while, and her love of steeps and pow. She also would need groomer performance. And I'm trying to find a binding, and I found some axial2 XXL with the right brake size, basically, I'm wondering if this would be an Ok setup, and if the bindings will be a good fit with the skis. Please excuse my poor grammar and punctuation, I'm typing this on mobile.

She doesn't ski park, she'll never need a pole that small.

Whoever bought the last fucking pair off evo, I'm going to come to your house and be extremely upset with you. Well, that kind of ruins Christmas for me, the only thing I wanted was to give my mom some new skis.
