I'm interested in buying the 177cm Mantra. I'm 5'9, 160lbs, and an aggressive skiier. I'm looking to also purchase the Rossignol SAS2 150 Wide Ski Binding. Is this a good binding for the ski? Thanks!

If I were you I'd probably go for the 184s, especially if you are indeed an agressive skier. They'll ski a little short with the twin tip and the extra length will give you some float and the ability to charge hard. That's a good choice on the binding. At 100 mm it won't be too wide for the ski.
