172 I would think, but how old are you, how much do you weigh, what type of ski are you looking at and how long have you been skiing.

172 should be fine, unless you think you will still grow a lot.

I agree. If you get a mid-high 170's ski it will be a little bit for you right now, but will help when you're landing jumps. If you get up to 5'10" or so it will still work for you, so it's going to give you the longevity.
