If you're looking for a nice pair of ski's for a beginner, you want ski's that won't hold you back in a couple of seasons (not all of us can afford new set ups every year), so look into (as said above) some twin tip, mid length, all mountain ski's. I started on Armada ARV's in a 185 (wayy too long for most beginners) but I picked it up pretty quick. I'm not sure if they still make Solomon Foils in a 166 but i have some friends who learned on those and we bust them out for fun. Just make sure you don't get jipped into ski's specifically for "beginners" likes the K2 Force. They'll just be a waste of money in the long run.

These skis would not be good for beginners. These skis are for huckin cliffs in the deep pow,backcountry,and skiing monster lines. I you are a beginner looking for a freestyle ski, i suggest looking at an all mountain twin tip because those carve well for turns and can be good for freestyle.
