You'll definitely want a Midfat - @ least.  The Freerides may be
overkill for a small woman.  Lleh, I'm 5'7", 150-165 lbs., and the
Diamir II's are plenty for me.  TEO commented early in the season how
much even modern slalom skis kcus off-piste: an hourglass figure (w/ a
narrow waste) may look inspiring, but just doesn't offer sufficient
flotation.  Although many might poo-poo my suggestions, I recommend
that she even consider a not-über-fat fat ski...
