Josh -- thanks for the tip.  She is about 5'6" and still growing.  I am sold on Dynastar skis -- we have two pairs in our household; both great skis, and fantastic build quality.  They make some light, but very solid and stable skis, and the Sixth Sense series always seems to top the ratings of Freeskier and Powder mag reviews.  BTW, I have looked closely at their Slicer model as a possible choice for my wife as a western deep snow ski, and was impressed -- light weight, laterally flexy but torsionally stiff.  Seems to be identical to the perennially top-rated women's model, the Paradise.  She skis on the Exclusive Legend Powder now, and loves it.

For true hard snow carving, our daughter now has a pair of Fischer Progressor 8's, so the Distorter or something like it, would be a perfect complement.
