How much more will I grow?

Heading into the off-season I now, I can look ahead to next years gear. The new stuff I need will include skis and boots so I've got a few questions. Since I'll be 15, I'm wondering how much more I can grow. I'm currently 5,9 and weigh just over 140 pounds. I figure that I can only grow upto 2-3 inches more but weight-wise, I'll probably grow a lot more.

My dilemna is whether or not to buy *really* nice equipment. I figure that once I hit an age where I won't be growing anymore, I could buy some really nice stuff that would last me for a long time. And that's exactly the plan I intend to follow.

Although I could survive on my current skis for another year, the big problem is my boots. Should I go out and buy some nice boots if my current footsize is 9 1/2 to 10? How much more could I grow?

I know that *most* of you aren't doctors (probably none actually :) but I know that you can relate to your own experiences.

Thanx for everything!

are you dumb?? we arent doctors. everyone is different. go to the doctors, get your hand x rayed, and then they can predict your heigh very accuratly.

ya seriously, everyones different, so you'll never get a good answer on here. Girls are supposed to stop growing around 15, but i grew another inch when i was almost 17.

my life seems to have been one giant growth spurt...every year, i grow like 4 inches and this year seems to be no different.

I've been askin around and alot of people have said that i could go for a pair of *nice* boots, just buy them a little big and stuff the toe or get a custom liner made.

What da ya think about that?

even if you stopped growing, skis aren't likely to last you more than a season if you ski often. so, just buy whatever you like.

It all depends on how much you masturbate.

i'm almost 20 and i'm still growing a little bit. your body wont deffenatly stop growing till your well into your 20's i know people who have growth sperts when they are 24. just get 175 to 180 for park you really don't want jib sticks to long. and for powder get182 motherships haha but thats just me.

yea, i'm just gonna get a pair of 176s or 178s. they'll probably last me for a while anyways.

+, if i'm doin rails and shit, i'll probably have to buy new skis anyways.
