What level ski is this? Looking at an intermediate ski for a girl 17 110# not too agressive but improving. She is on a Fisher beginner ski now and needs more ski. She banks her turns but skids some too.

This is an intermediate to advanced ski. Debbie is correct, you need to consider weight when selecting length, but I would also consider height as well. The bigger issue to consider, to your question, is what does she ski on? powder, packed powder, ice? This ski would be good for a variety of conditions, but I would also consider the One Luv if going with K2.

One comment -- Buy the ski based on her WEIGHT, not her height. I am very light for my height (#112) and it takes weight to flatten the ski to make it turn! Otherwise the sidecut of the ski doesn't engage to allow it to turn. I am 5'4" and 112#, and I bought this ski in a 149. I am not able to turn the 156 length because I don't weigh enough. I do have to sacrifice on the "ride quality" just a little bit -- a longer ski would be smoother, but alas, that's no asset if I can't turn it! Debbie
