i am a women and i ride the exact set up you are asking about. I LOVE these skis but have a hard time making tele turns on them. If she is an aggressive skier and good tele skier (I wasn't when I got on this set up) she will love them. They are a bit heavy but with the free pivot on the 01's it makes the up-track much easier and the ride down is totally worth it.

Verdicts are a way better ski than the kilowatts, I know quite a few women that ride them. I don't know why this Michael guys is so into the kilowatts, everyone I know on them is not overly impressed by them. But tons of folks love verdicts.
