It all depends on your BSL. Most likely, somewhere between 5-7, but I dont know anything about your ability or boot size.

Sounds about right. You might want to try 6 to start. What bindings are they?

You should work your way back up throughout the season. I'm 5'8" and 135 lbs. I ride on DIN 8 or 8.5, still to be determined for my new skis. But on my park/groomer/messing around skis I have an 8. You should be on 6.5-7 for first day since tearing the ACL, then gradually go up to 7.5 or 8, depending on how hard you ride and how comfy you feel ripping it your knees.

I will continue to argue this. I have no idea why kids crank their bindings so high. I'm 6'2 and 160 pounds and i blew my knee whne my DIN were at 8. Getting hurt sucks, I'd rather pop out.

6-6.5 sounds about right, prob no higher either..

i'd need to see a rossi chart, but according to this one you would be 6.25
