Sandra22,
Are you looking to buy or rent skis?

Most beginners rent them for their first few ski holidays. If you're renting then make sure you go to a good hire shop and tell them truthfully how much experience you've had and your height, shoe size and weight and leave it up to them to pick you the right skis and boots and adjust them so that you can learn to ski safely on them.

Where and when are you going ski-ing? I hope you have a great time :D

Don't buy skis now. Rent until you move up a level from a beginner. You'll get better idea then which skis you may like. If you get beginner skis now you'll outgrow them fairly quickly especially considering that you are 15. On more advanced skis you may have problems learning.
