This might be helpful. I'll stick to just two skis, the Rally and the Super Joy. I actually exchanged a number of PM's with
@surfsnowgirl when she was looking at the Rally, and I think she's been quite pleased with that ski. I have five female skiers in my immediate family, all of whom are very skilled skiers. Extensive backgrounds, high level racing, etc. I'll specifically discuss my wife's experience, and my sister in law's, and then add some impressions from the three others that you may find helpful. Based in my discussions and impressions, I would consider limit the search to those two skis, as I think both would be great possibilities.
Our adult kids both work in the business, one lives in the Tahoe basin, one in CO in the Rockies. My sister in law lives in Steamboat. WE split time between the East and West.
Three seasons ago, our son handed a pair brand new, just released 163cm Super Joys to my wife. She's about 5'4" and 130 lbs. She's can ski, ski anything, and is both precise and fast. She knows what she likes. She laughed when she first lifted them, because they were so light. Our son, who knows his stuff {to say the least} told he to ski them. We were in CO for 10 days. Well, it took her about six turns to fall in love. We had everything that week in terms of snow. Old snow, hard snow, and about four nights of 4" to 8" of fresh snow. We skied everything for terrain. So....think cruisers, groomers, steep bumps, some trees, a lot of wide open spaces. Steeps. I kept asking if my wife wanted to switch skis, and she said "Nope, I think this may be the best all round ski that I've skied in a LONG time." Her impression is that the ski has a huge "sweet spot", much more so than it's marketed to. It's billed as a "carver", and it does that and a lot more. She is now on her fourth pair. We have a connection, full disclosure. She skis close to 100 days a pair, and then passes them on, with a lot of life in them. She has her original pair as lean snow/rock skis.
My sister on law is about your size. Maybe 5'2" and 115 lbs? She is on, I think her third pair of Rally's. She loved the ski and has stuck with it. Very similar to my wife. Both raced back in the day. Both have taught. Both know how to work a ski. And both can get them up on edge. Both bend the skis into a variety of turn shapes. And both tend to pull these skis about 80% of the time, despite having a lot of other skis. My wife has a pair of Santa Ana's that she normally skis when the snow is deep. They have never really become the daily driver in the West, as she loves the Super Joy's. She has Patrons for when the snow os really deep, but frankly they barely get used.
My sister in law and wife have the same BSL. They have swapped skis, and both have the opinion that if they had tried the other ski, they would have been perfectly happy on it. My wife feels that the Super Joy is more lively, has more pop, and is more fun......in everything. Including skied out snow, and windblown snow. The "lightness" is not a factor. My sister in law seems to think the Rally is "smoother" which I think is more damp. She likes to pretty occasionally side, skid, and starve her turns, and the Rally does that all.....as well as serious carving. My wife tends to be on edge.
The two younger women, who are both about 5'4" and 135 lbs are "alligned" with other ski companies. However, our daughter has borrowed her Mom's skis a number of times "just to try these things out." She's "OK with her skiing", ex NCAA captain who skis well over 100 days a season. She thinks the Rally is an incredibly versatile ski, and if she were with Head, would likely have a pair....BUT, she loves ski on the Super Joy. Comments like "This is SO much fun, so quick. Wow." Our son's GF has a similar background. And coaches full time. She has the exact same opinion. She's with another company, but feels that Head makes great ski. If the boots would work for her {they don't...her foot}, she probably would be with them. She's skied Mom's SJ's in Tahoe, in the East, and in CO.
Same verdict. With a skilled skier, who drives the ski, they work. I frankly think they BOTH work. I'd try to demo BOTH, maybe on the same day. If you can get on some harder, older snow, and perhaps a bit of fresher snow, or a bit skied out.....perfect. But I'd also be real comfortable recommending either "cold turkey." I don't think you can go wrong, and I rarely say that about any ski.
They're both a lot of ski for the money, and easy to resell, if needed.
BTW, none of this crowd can stand any of the other Joy series skis. Not fans for whatever reason. Other choices for wider skis. I own a Titan. I love it. I'm 200+ lbs, and I, too, "am OK with my skiing." I also ski an i.speed {the Rebels ski}and have for a number of years and pairs. Also picked up an i.Race last spring. I would not recommend a Titan for you. Particularly not in your length.
Good luck. Lot of great skis out there. These two among them. Lots of thumbs up in our family.
