Suggestions on buying wife new skis.
Post Body

For context, Iā€™ve been skiing for several years and I love it. My young kids love it and my wife is okay with it. Haha. She has her own fitted boots and I bought used skis on eBay for her about 3-4 years ago. I didnā€™t know what I was getting back then, and just got her some used K2 skis that looked like the right length based on a fit chart. Sheā€™s taken lessons and does okay. Last season she did the best Iā€™ve seen her do and seems to be getting a little into it. This upcoming season weā€™ve got two trips planned, including a week in Aspen.

What Iā€™d love to do is get her on the easiest possible ski to learn on. I donā€™t care much about getting something she can ā€œgrow intoā€ and cost isnā€™t a big concernā€¦if she gets good and wants something different Iā€™ll happily buy her another setā€¦but for now, I want her on something that is stable and easy to turn. Also, I live in an area where demoing skis isnā€™t an option. I really appreciate any advice and suggestions! Iā€™ll take general ā€œhow to get your wife excited about skiingā€ advice as well. Haha.

Edit. She is 5ā€™2, weighs about 120. She is 39.
