Powder skis?

I need a bit of advice on powder skis.
Basically I'm looking at the Chetler 2015. I would quite like to be able to hike a line in them so what binding should I get? (That is if you can put hiking bindings on them)

I'm 6ft 1 and weigh 60kg.

What size should I be looking at? I'm thinking 192cm?

I want to use them for Tree runs, steep runs, and side country, and maybe even slushy days

If you have any other suggestions on powder skis instead of the Chetler that'd be great.

I'll be using them in France where the powder days are short lived and far between

AT bindings or WTR bindings? If you don't know the difference, look into it. If you want to do mostly lift accessed but just occasional sidecountry, WTR is likely better for you.

Bent Chetlers are great skis. I would consider the Pettitors too.
