Rossi 120s or Look PX 120s should do you good. best all mountain riding would be if they were mounted on the line marked on the skis..reccommended line

fks 155 or sth 12s are pretty solid for your height / weight, maybe a little pricey though.

PS, DOPE skis

Rossignol Freeski2 120 - $219.99
Marker Griffon - $229.99
Salomon STH 12 - $269.99

These binders all have reinforced heels (one of the first failure points on traditional bindings).  The Marker is the only option from above that doesn't have an upward (vertical) toe release so you don't pop out on a backseat landing. It definitely favors retention over release.  Both Rossi and Salomon make bindings like that but only feature it on their highest end models (Freeski2 150/180, FKS 180, STH 16).

I am 5'11" 150 pounds and have sth 12's on my 181 chronics.  I also have griffons which I like.  My dins are set at 8 so I'm guessing, depending on your foot size, that you will be around the same.

Too bad my STH14 toepiece failed first :(


Basicly ANY salomon without drivertoe is crappy.

i picked up a pair of dynastar troubles from evogear when they had their holiday sales for like $100 and my friend had to borrow my chrons for a weekend and loved them (he has chronics to with griffons and said he liked the way mine skied better). I have only skied on them like 6 or 7 times this year but i would look into them because you'd save like $120
