Go to a boot fitter for sure and get a pair that's going to be comfy and last. Getting a good pair of boots that fit to your feet is the most important thing.

Yup ^ this. You might want to spend a little more on boots so you can go to a bootfitter, get fitted, and make your skiing experience 1000000x better. As for skis, my friend is fairly simlar to ability wants and needs to you and he recently got the atomic infamous and said they are great.
