I have a pair of these (last years - no rocker) in 182. Wondering where to mount them, as I'm 185-190lbs, and 5'10" tall. I want to use them primarily as a powder board, that can still handle most all-mountain conditions (crud, groomers, etc.). Going forwards all the time, and spending little/no time in the park. Would mounting them at the Rec. line make sense for my size? Thanks...

I am almost the same height/weight and was looking for the same kinda ride as you and ended up mounting them on the line and could not be happier!

I'd drop your bindings right on the recommended 'freeride' line. I'm a little smaller than you (5'8" - 140lbs) and mount all my fat twins about 1 to 1.5cm forward of the freeride line. I don't think you would need to make an adjustment. Have fun.
