how hard are they to step into,  does it feel to easy?
and
when you step into them if you pick up your foot and wave it around can you feel movment between your ski and boot?

the bindings may have slipped in the minor adjustment rail take them to your shop with your boots for an alignment

your binding should NEVER be maxed out.  The release is actually alot more unreliable when you turn it up that high.  10 high for your weight/height.  Something is most likely wrong with the binding. the boot size adjustment might be one loose.  Markers are not great but they shouldn't be that bad. I would definitely bring those to a shop and have them check it out

i know people who ski with 12.... its more of a chance but it also prevents you from falling at the same time....my front is at 10 and back is aat 7

Your profile says your home mt is jimminy peak. So your skiing mostly small/medium park and nothing too crazy like 70ft jumps? right?. I'm 160 and i've "turned" my FKS up to 9.  They have NEVER released when i wasn't falling.  Unless your a big kid or dropping huge cliffs and charging big big mt lines you shouldn't need to turn your din up that high if its working properly. A 12 din for average park riding shouldn't be necessary if your bindings are adjusted properly.  If your friends are riding at 12 they probably have 14 or 16 din bindings.  As a rule of thumb your bindings will release most consistently +2 from the lowest din and -2 from the top din.

markers do tend to have pre-releasing problems causing them to release when u dont want them 2...my friend had some freeride 14s 2 years ago so he would have been 13 years old and had to put them to 12 so they wouldent release on butters and what not...he was prob like 100-110Lbs
