I'd like some advice from the net on buying my first set of skis.

I'm a beginning skier (just learned how to ski last year), fairly
aggressive, and I weigh about 205.  I'd like to buy some skis that
will be easy to control now, but that I won't end up throwing away
after this season because they're *too* beginner-oriented.
Any suggestions on models and lengths?

Also, binding suggestions would be appreciated.

Please e-mail replies; if any other people out there are interested in the
results, I'll post them.
