i would buy something used, maybe a rossignol scratch fs or a k2 fujative. If you want to buy new next year I'd go k2 silencer, mainly because of price. At your level don't spring for anything too fancy and expensive; it won't help you at all and you'll just look like a poser

What can you do on skis, if anything (what level are you at, leve 60 dugeon master or lever 3 dwarf bitch)? How much money do you have?

170 to 175 would be ok length to start and gives you a bit more longevity. I think Silencers, Fujis or maybe scratch sprayer fs are cheap good skis to start on. Invaders poss as well.
