crikey... yer tiny...
151 1080 or maybe one of the jr freestyle skis (k2 mini enemy, 1080 grom, rossi scratch jr)
Basically, for a beginning freestyle skiier, something that is about up to your nose in length. The 151 1080 would be the nicest (but also most expensive), the k2 mini enemies are pretty decent for a jr ski... I'd probably stay away from the jr scratch or 1080 grom

'why?'
'I was bored, and I typed in shiteaters.com, and there is actually a shiteaters.com... and they were eating shit. The internet is sick.'

Yeah, I'd have to second that, 151cm 1080s, or 720s if that's too expensive. They're light skis.

not to sound like a jerk but unless you plan on landing/taking off switch i dunno if you really even need a park ski. It sounds like you just wanna jump on the trend of twintips. Any pair of head's or salomon skis would prob suite you just fine

that pe will be wayyyy too big for a 5'2' skiier... k2 measures running length, so it's more like a 162, which will be like 2' taller than her (162=5'4') which is too big for her first twin/learning ski.
Also, there isn't a problem with a beginning skiier having twins. I'm not an elitist, at least. If she wants the cool shit, there's no reason she shouldn't be able to get it. We aren't a clique.
and word to jd, it certainly seems to be

i skiied more than 10yrs, so i'm pretty good skier, have no problem skiing even backward.
PE 159 sounds good but wonder if it's too heavy and long for me to handle.

Line 1260 153cm, they're super light and awesome, I ride the 164s but for your size the 153's would be best. Plus, line has awesome warranty.
