If you're skiing tight trees, the 182 might be a lot of ski for someone your size. Alex Vu says play it safe with a bigger ski; I say play it safe and get the ski that's right for you now, so you're not struggling, hating life, and waiting to grow into them. The 172 will be perfect for now, and remember: you can always sell skis when you're finished with them.

Well the 182 is about 5'9'' and because you are growing its better to play it safe with the bigger ski. Thats just me, but ya, go with the 182.
