Go with our Magic Sticks in 82 or 93mm waist. buy online at www.booneskis.com we have great prices, 100% bamboo core, and sick graphics. IF you don't like our skis (if you're crazy) we also recommend going with a pair of MOMENT's Reno's. www.momentskis.com

im 5 7 and got the 171 invaders
Invaders would be good if you are going to use them purely in the park and 171 would be right if you centre mount them.
But if your are going to be using them outside the park much you would be better off getting something else, the chronic would probably be a bit too stiff though.

I agree, many of the skis listed are great skis but for a female beginner they may be two stiff. There are a ton of twins designed to suit the needs of female freeriders. Roxy (rossi/dynastar) makes a bunch of good stuff, Salomon makes most of their twins in a female version and so does Line. I would suggest the Line Celebrity, Salomon Temptress, or check out the Roxy line.

I've heard some very good things about ARWs, and not only for park but for all mountain too.
If I were you, I would go to a local shop that knows their stuff for park and such, and talk to them. It'll be way easier to get good info and a solid ski. They can look at your size and ask you the right questions to get a good ski. If you don't have a good local shop however, you might want to go to the reviews section here, and on freeskier.com, they'll help you too.
If you want more solid info though, you should probably tell us your weight, how strong you are, what level of skiing you are at, and whether you want a pure park ski or an all mountain ski too, as that will have a huge effect on the suggestions people throw out.
If you're just starting out in the park though, the Invader seems like a good choice. And I wouldn't go with a huge ski for your first year, you'll have trouble. Try to stay in between your nose and forehead.

yea the invaders u can get fo cheap
You really need to tell us what you are going to be using them for, as well as your weight before anyone can make a justified recommendation.
Everyone one is suggesting the invaders and chronics both of which probably wont be suitable for you. The invaders will be too soft if you want to use them out of the park and the chronics will be too stiff. You really should look into some of the female skis suggested above.

oh god oh god oh god!!!!!!!!!!!!!
alright i had to say that.
maybe look at k2 misdemeanors, armada arw's or roxy skis? that's if you want a girlier ski i guess you could say. i'd recommend invaders like the rest of this thread though.

agreed.
this was my first real twin tip, and it was a good ski to start messing around with switch/jumps and stuff.
