175-185cm, allmountain/park skis... Its probably going to cost more than 200$ though. Check for deals on previous year models and possibly look into buying used off the BST forums.

Forgot a couple things. All ski brands make good skis, brand doesnt matter so much, just get something that sounds fun, has good reviews and looks cool. Poles are all pretty much the same, just get some cheap ones. Also, for boots, go to a shop and GET PROFESSIONALLY FITTED, its impossible for us to tell you what boots to get because it depends completely on your foot.
