Replying to 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!
