juliebenn, you can't go wrong with something from the K2 'Luv' range. They are popular with many lady  's. Take a look at the K2ski website.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Can you tell a little more about yourself?
Height weight and goals will help.
I'd suggest that you take the recommendations you get here and make them a short list to demo, because so many ski manufacturers have profound equipment, and you may find something you like about a ski that someone else may not like.
A few for your short list off the top of my head are:
Elan Black magic
Nordica Olympia Drive
Volkl Tierra

Rossignol attraction 5 are very nice. My friend has a pair who's an intermediate skier. I found them a very responsive ski. They were nice.

My wife, an intermediate skier, has fallen in love with the Scott Maya. A very well priced ski that makes her look good on the piste and puts a smile on her face when she ventures on the powder.

If your skill level is going forward and you are are looking to ski well, then add the Dynastar Legend Exclusive Powder.... might just be a ski too far at this time, for you, tho'

juliebenn, This thread is one reason you should really try to demo skis.
geri, and woody911, both recommend the Rossignol Attraxion, but when I demoed them for review, I found them to be very damp and uninspiring.
However, JT, 's recommendation of the Dynastar Legend Exclusive Powder is a ski I'd definitely consider checking out.
Ski Mfgs have some great stuff out there, but all so very different from one another, where rossi's tend to be damp, volkl's have a lot of energy and performance but aren't extremely forgiving, and elan, and nordica are known for performance skis with some forgiving tendency.
With your height and weight, I'd consider something in the high 150's low 160's range for length, and go for a ski that will perform well but have forgiving tendency so you can use it while you progress!!

I like the stockli spirit ed VII skis... they are very cool skis for women and stockli skis have always skied nicely for me... many women seem to like that ski...
but you really have to demo skis yourself - see what YOU like....
I like GS race skis... not really everyone's cup of tea... I have a friend that has very different taste to me... yet we both ski at a very similar level... we are just different skiers and like our skis to feel certain ways...

You may not find them in one place, but you should still demo all you can. When you find the ski that puts a big silly grin on your face. Buy IT!
