Ok from my viewpoint given the stats on your wife, two skis come to mind based on their on snow performance this year and as a unisex ski....

My first choice would be the Fischer Watea 78, 122 78 107 in a 167 length

My second choice would be the Head IM78, 124 78 110 in their 165 length

These would be a good partner skis with her Head SS.....these skis are forgiving, awesome carvers at slow and high speed, they can be slid around when skiing more slowly with the kids, and offer the flexibility of skiing groomed bunny hills to knee high powder on black runs anywhere.

These skis could be paired up with a Railflex binding giving her the ability to adjust her center mass on the skis. Since the factory binding locations are more male oriented, I would reccomend she mounts the Railflex 10mm forward of the standard mounting location and then play with the adjustable binding moving it from center to forward to see what tickles her fancy!

Best,
Gary
