My wife (5'0", 152cm, 115#) has been skiing for a handful of years and last year started venturing out into blues and trying to ski more parallel. She skis at Mt Rose (Tahoe) and she stays on groomers.
Yesterday she made a comment that the tracked out snow on a long traverse/cat track was bouncing her and making it hard to trust her skis. She's on Fischer Aspire RS10 140cm(?) 70mm which are cap construction, beginner skis that are just a little nicer than rentals.

She made the same comments about going downhill through the tracked out groomer. She also isn't going very fast, so isn't able to just blast through the crud.
I'm starting to think maybe she has outgrown the softness of her skis. But, of course, she doesn't want to upgrade. She likes how light her ski are.
What should I look for to help figure out if she's need something stiffer and/or heavier?
Are there any notable women's intermediate skis that should be on my radar? Yeah I've still got to go through @Tricia posts.
My thoughts are stay under 80mm waist, softer flex and maybe ~150cm length.
Anything else I should consider?
