Hi I just got Armada TST 183 and Marker Baron Bindings.

I'm 6'00" - advanced skier

What mounting position would you recommend for
70% Freeride, Big mountain, Pow, some short Ski-Tour trips
and
30% Resort ?

I like to ride fast.
I will not land backwards on Pow I guess - maybe some times.

Armada recommends 83cm from tail to boots mid-sole, but when I look at the ski it looks like it would be better to mount it a little bit to the back 82 or even 81 cm from tail .
Specially because of rocker and the way
carved edge has been designed ( carved edge goes right from the back to the place when the rocker starts).
When I step on the ski (when boot is at 83 cm position) it looks like a bit to short in front of me.

What is your opinion?

Thanks
