Don't have a specific ski recommendation, but Peter has a woman's section to this years 1SQ quiver designation and has a similar "starred" ski recommendations sections from previous years.

What I wanted to say is that I would highly recommend you focus on boots/alignment and one pair of skis to accelerate the learning curve.  You can always rent wide skis if you hit powder conditions and she wants to ski in it.   

The other thing is, I'm sure we've all heard stories about guys that take their "best friend" to learn to ski, tell them they don't need lessons, and on the second run they're trying to get their buddy down the black trail with them.  So my other recommendation would be to let her learn and progress at her pace and not try to keep up with you.  I'm glad to hear that she's taking weekly lessons.  She should also consider a Harb Green/Blue ski camp.
