If your an experienced skier and you think you could handle a 172 then definitely go with the Line Elizabeths. They are literally the perfect ski for you. Designed as Eric Pollards park ski, but 110 underfoot so they would still kill it for you in the powder. Check out some reviews.

they'd be fine in the park but a little sketchy if you're going to be skiing a decent amount of pow. I think if you're a decent skier then you would have no problem handling the Elizabeths, most people are worried to ski on a bigger ski but you get used to it really quick and i'm sure you'll be growing so they would be spot on.

how old are you?
how much do you weigh?
where and what do you like to ski?
how much park/pow do you ski?

considering you'll be growing and you ski pow more than park i think lizzies would be perfect

171 ON3P Jeronimo. Support your local PNW ski company. lol. Seriously though, that ski pretty much perfectly describes what you are looking for.
