^ totally, if you can handle a mens ski then i would suggest that but if you want a womens ski then i would suggest the shadows, my girlfriend skis them and loves them...but i dont know anything about you...weight height or skill so i cant say for sure, there just a good ski

i dont think that girls should be restricted to girls skis. i think that guys skis are more stable and stuff. i mean girls skis and guy skis are pretty much the same except the graphics are different, they're pretty much the same

my sister is 5'2 and about 115 i would guess. She rented missy's when we went out west and loved them.  Her and i charged the mt that week and they deffinately worked for her.  One day we got 2 ft and she had no problem floating hwile i used my scratches and sank like a rock. We also got in the park a bit and she said they were comfortable in their too, shes dece in the park and can throw 5s and shit so i trust her when she says they were good.  She boards more than she skis now, i know its sad, but other wise i think she would have bought them.

Line skis do fall apart, but if you are not going to be extremely hard on them, aka wrack yourself on rails and boxes, they should be okay. I ride K2 Fujitives, 159's. It's all personal preference.

^thats BS. Last years line's did have a few problems, but that can all be attributed to first year production by new employees in a new factory in a new country. Next years lines are gonna be rock solid.
