I am almost 200lbs and ski dynafits in the backcountry tons. The whole point is that you want these to release-either you are in a fall and going to get hurt or triggering an avalanche. Putting your DIN on the max is never a good idea, just tightens the spring too much and they never work 100% correctly at that full cranking. Back em off to 8, and see how that goes, but stay off the full cranking!

I've seen guys your size eject on corduroy with a DIN at 8, so I'd crank it all the way to 10. I don't have a lot of experience with alpine bindings, but when I do ride them mine are set at 8 (I'm 145), and normally I use tele skis, which don't eject. Tighten 'em up.
