i ski about half park and half groomers and moguls, and i ski about 30-35 times a season. the last pair of bindings i had were these massive atomic neox bindings witch were really heavy and literally fell apart twards the end of last season. im 6'4" and weigh anout 180lbs. i was looking at the marker griffons, but im a little skeptical of their duribillity. any other bindings i should concider?

did you notice how big he is? My friend with the STH 12s seemed to have a lot of problems with his and he is much smaller than the OP.

Rossi SAS 120s or 140s would be perfect.  They are a bombproof binding, i've had no problems with them at all.  if you want to shell out a lil more money, get the new rossi fks.  Overall if you want something that can take a beating, Rossi bindings are the way to go and maybe even look bindings

or try and find a used pair. Pivots or FKS are your best bet.

how was FKS not said in the first post? they are burly as shit, and last forEVER. mine are all literally at least 10 years old, and are like brand new (i rebuilt them and regreased everything). they arent as user friendly as most consumer bindings, but they are tanks, and ski sooooo much better than everything else.

I'm 6 foot, 185 and I ripped a heel clean in half.  Size doesn't matter, the way you ski does.  I break things :(

Might look at the Head Mojo 15 or the Tyrolia Peak 15 (same binding) Price is amazing for how solid it is.

theres no need for them. they dont actually make landings any softer. mount them as flat/low as you can
