Need recommendations for women’s skis. She’s wants to start doing park but needs something that can still carve on the ice coast. This will be her do it all ski. She is 5’4 100 lbs

I’d say some women’s ARVs. Stable ski and great for any park skiers honelsty. I have a pair of 96s and I used those all last year for everything (only had one pair at the time). I would say to detune, but it really is your call since she’s gonna hit icy stuff.

Peep the Faction CT X skis. Same as the men’s but smaller sizes and different graphics. My buddy got his sister the 2.0 X and apparently she loves it

She can ski pretty much anything inbounds and is a racer. She usually only skis groomers but like the glades when there’s enough snow (not very often). She currently uses some old dynastar race skis.

I'd go with grant up above also saying the Women's Armada Arv.
She'd probably be like me wanting to stay on the narrow skis and want camber. (I'm the same height but 20lbs heavier than her. Wide skis are tough on short people 😂 ) I also went from a race ski to a park ski when I switched.
I can't really say any much for suggestions of models though as I've only been on ON3P for park . it took a long time to get used to them as they're very different than what I was used to.
