Alright, so 171 is a good ski height for me? Im around 5.6 and weigh around 105 lbs. Im only 14 so im still growing. I just need to confirm as ill be buying them very soon.
Even if they were a bit too big, how much bigger?
What bindings do you reccomend for around 150 canadian dollars? 200 is max.

The 171 would be big on you, but if your still growing, it's do able. The 166 is probably the better size for your height/weight right now. My little brother skis these in a 166 and he's taller than you and weighs 150 lbs. He thinks they're awesome skis. For bindings, my favorite would be the Marker Griffin. But if that's too much I'd just go with a Rossignol or Look binding with at least DIN 12. Good Luck with your new set up!
