Im 14 years old and im 5 feet tall 120 pounds or somewhere around there. Im currently riding 159 k2 extremes (they measure to about 163) and i was wondering if 165 Ninthward HHP's would be god for me? My extremes are fairly stiff and i want a softer lighter ski. Would the HHP fit what  like and would the 165 be too big or small for me? And are there anyother skis you could reccomend me that i could find for under $350 that are durable? Sorry for all the questiosn.......+k for help
