I'm riding shitty line skis right now and i have very shitty boots. I am currently 5'2 and 95 pounds and i am still growing. My skis are 149 and boots are 28.5. Is it worth it to get new stuff now or should i wait another year. I was thinking about getting a 161 ski would that be to big. Anything helps.

def get 161 if not bigger. i assume that you're still young so you'll grow a decent amount during 6 months. if i were you id wait until autumn so you can see how much you've grown and then definetly lean towards a taller ski

161 + and go to a boot fitter if you need comfortable boots. Doesn't matter what kind of boot you have, the only thing that does matter is if the boot fits good, in return it will be comfortable
