Can you make parallel turns yourself? If so, spend some time skiing
slowly and try to figure out how you do what you do. Then try to
explain it to her.

Or get her a lesson.

Continue with plow, but LIFT inside foot.

You have got to be joking.

One step at a time.

Have her start with the wedge like she's used to, but then pick up the
tail of the inside ski (the one with no weight on it). It will force her
to keep her weight forward and the ski will all by itself come parallel
with the outside one. After doing this for an hour or so she'll probably
just start skiing parallel on her own.

Alternately just get some lessons.
