I'm getting a new pair of skis and can't decide on bindings. I'm 5'9 200lb fatty. I'm from western NY and take a trip or two to VT or Maine each year, i ski a lot of park and hit up groomers / urban stuff as well. I have Look px12 jibs on my other skis I just don't like em, I had a problems with both pairs and just want to move on. So any suggestions?

Right now, I'm 90% sure its going to be Suspects because I'm getting a deal on a new pair. And my ability would be III+

200 lbs on a 12 DIN - well there's you're problem

Marker Jesters are probably the best high din binding out there right now (with the obvious exception of FKS 180s - but those are mad expensive unless you can find them used and are going to be hard to get)

So I guess all I've seen with dins that high are STH 16's FKS 180's and the Jesters. What do you guys recommend.

Im your size, and I have the "Marker Griffon" and they hold up fine for me. Jesters would be better though.
