What's up ns. After a good 10 years on her current setup, my mom is in the market for some new skis. She's 5'2" and about 125 pounds. She can't carve, but puts down some decent turns. Obviously she doesn't charge at all but she's not the worst skier on the mountain. I need some quality recommendations for new skis cuz I'm too lazy to do my own research

Get her a pair of V’s
 
Bumping so perhaps some shop peeps have more specific ideas and why they're recommending that. Definitely get her something with rocker/camber/rocker. I like Blister's suggestion to do this and not get a full camber ski for beginners/intermediates. Op, check out blister mag. They usually have a whole list of suggestions based on skill level and intended skiing locations.
 
Thanks to those of you that gave suggestions. We’re heading into the shop today to pick some out.
 
Salomon QST or Elan Ripstick

I've never had an intermediate skier not have a shit eating grin after selling them one of those two skis.
