Sorry for posting in here, I know it should go into Gear Talk, but I need an answer pretty quickly.
She is 5'2''. These will be her first pair of twin tips. She is an intermediate skier and is trying to get into park more. She skis in southern california. How is this combo?

idk, its kind of hard to tell on something like that man. I feel ya.

could we get some naked pics so we could judge her body frame in order to decide what kind of skis would fit best?
These types of things are very important when making a purchase like this.

I would definitely look at like a 7 din binding. Look Nova 7s are decent and can be had for cheap. Skis are good, at a killer price.

Rossignol Sassy 7 - K2 Misconduct - APO Marielle. But you've got plenty of choice out there, what you're looking for is a positive camber with around 80 underfoot and not too stiff. But if she's looking for something to ride pow as well, Faction Heroine, a dope ski.

K2 misconducts are what mine rides, she also has a pair of My lifes.

Also check out Surface, they have the My LIfes and the My Times...

To everyone else posting in this thread:

Realize that OP is probably trying to get a very very cheap new setup. Its a girlfriend.
There is a reason why he asked if the $125 setup is any good.

If you are going to give him other suggestions, make them at least under $250 total for his sake

Didn't realize that.

Surface is doing 60% off of last years skis with the code "Black" so that'll make them around $250

Get her those JO Pros with the girls on them, they have them on there so you can tell which gender they're for.

I would go with some better bindings. The Roxy ones won't hold up that well.

but Maybe these ?
