Thanks.
Go to an ski area that has a demo rental program that allows you to change gear during the day. This way you get to try out different boots, ski types, and ski lengths. The equipment makes a huge difference in both comfort and ability. Once you find what you like, go buy it and enjoy. Sometimes if its close to end of season the rental place will sell you what you are renting on the spot.

Have fun.
