You would be stupid to get anything smaller than a 171 if you're both centermounting and going to grow more soon.

171s would be fine.  i don't remember if you said how old you were, but i'm assuming you're still growing, so you want something you won't have grown out of by january.  you know how those growth spurts can be.

ya don't go any smaller, if you're 14 you could end up being 6ft before ya know it, and if you aren't tryin to buy new skis every year give yourself a little extra length to grow into.  it's nice to have a little more stability when you're going fast and hitting big kickers, especially if you're gonna center mount it

Dude, I am 15 and 5'6" and I know other people my height and my age.  My parents were both super late growers.  It's dope though because I am supposed to have a huge growth spurt this year and I will catch up to everyone that is taller than me.
