I've got these two girls, 18 and 19 years old, who were wondering if I knew of any good twintip skis for them. One of them have been riding for a while, the other one is quite new to it.

Need help finding skis for girls.They both need skis that they can play around with in the park, but also ride some pow with, like in the forest and stuff. The skis will also be used a lot in the slopes, so the skis need some carving qualities. Basically, I need two all-around skis for girls.

 
The salomon Giesha would be a good option, stiff undefoot and tail so it carves well, and its 100mm with a slight tip rocker so it works well in softer snow too. Dynastar make some awsome womans skis, the exclusive range is great, they not all twins, but do they really need a twin tip. Something like teh K2 fatluv could be good. Softer flex wise then something like the salomons or dynastar but they forgiving and float well, so they will be easy to progress on. At the other end of teh scale Volks womans ski tend to be stiff and very responsive. Skis like the older attivas were amazing carving skis and I really liked them whenever I skied them. The roosi womans skis can be good too. Overall take them to an on hill demo and have them ski all teh options tehn they can pick what they actually like the feel of, rather then what will proberbly be good for them.

Hope that gives you some ideas.
 
Line celebrity or if they can handle the truth....hands down line pandoras....have yet to hear anything negative...chicks go bananoes for those things and constantly say it's the best ski they've ever ridden....with that said...most girls I know who are serious skiers ride guy skis so.....
 
My girlfriend's got the Line Celebrity's and the K2 Missbehaveds and loves both of them. I'd say the celebs are probably a better match for what you said they were looking for.

She carves on them fine, passed her level 1 instructor course on them in fact. They're definitely fat enough for pow, (especially for a girl's weight) at 90 underfoot but still skinny enough for the park.

Flex-wise (literally just hand-flexed thenm) they're pretty stiff underfoot, and soft in the tail.

Pretty much a great all round ski, and if you search for reviews they'll all say that.
 
^this but....don't overlook the celebrity 100s either and like I said above....if they're advanced enough the pandoras....don't think it's a strictly pow ski jus because that's how they market it....the pandora is essentially the women's version of the sir Francis bacon and that's what I ride for park....plus there is a definate trend toward wider "one quiver" skis.....so if your willing to think outside the box don't discount width underfoot.
