I'm torn between getting a pair of the Mantras in a 177 or 184.
I'm 5'10 and 175 lbs, ski in the NWest and BC. tend to need something that can handle everything including bumps, pow, piste, trees.
thoughts?

Jason, I am 6 feet and 175lbs and ski the 177 - which was recommended to me by a backcountry guide. I spent 20+ days on them this (past) season and they run anything except NE ice. I got the Marker Duke bindings if that is any help.

I know a lot of people that would say go in either directions, but it comes down to preference. If you are used to a ski in around the 177, and like them there, then go for that. If you like throwing a couple of longer planks around, then the 184. I would say that the 177 would be more versatile, and be easier to track through the bumps and trees, but it's up to you.
