So I weigh about 115 pounds, am 5'6, and am looking to buy a pair of 2015 Line Blend for next season. Should I go with the 171 cms, 178 cms, or just buy a different pair of skis. I will be growing in the next couple of years because I'm 15. I also have to pay for it all so don't tell me to get Icelantics or anything like that.

I'd go with a little shorter length. You seem like a pretty small guy still and especially with your weight I'd try not to go with such a huge ski. But the blend is pretty sick imo

If you are going with the LINE blends, get the 171. I'm 6'2 and my skis are 178. It all depends on how aggressive you ski.
