I have a new pair of 184cm Mantra's. What bindings do you recommend? I'm 6'1", 208 lbs, aggressive all mountain skier. Mostly ski in Western US, BC. Mostly lift-served areas, very little hiking. 52 years old & been skiing about 40 years.

I'm a Marker fan, so I'm going to speak towards that brand... I would recommend the Marker Jester for you. I know a 16 DIN probably sounds outrageous, but there is sound logic behind it. For an aggressive, 205# skier, your DIN setting will be somewhere in the 9-12 range (depending on your preference). A relative middle setting is where the binding performs the best and most consistently. It also prevents the spring from suffering from undue compression, which can lead to binding pre-release. That's the logic behind the high DIN rating.
