There are millions of bindings that would work great for you. What is your budget?

I have them or Jester on all my skis and I never had any problems
They are light weight and work great.

Or you could get FKS which are x1000000000 better.
If you are skiing park only, mount them dead center. If you are skiing 50% park, 50% around the mountain, then mount -1.5 back.

For bindings I'll probably try and find some used ones on here so I don't want to spend to much. Right now I'm thinking of fks

You must be good if you tell us that you are.
You may want to go down to the el reays, way better all mountain stick and I would throw on some squires with those bad boys. Maybe the bright ones so you stand out. Also I would ride your din pretty low because knee injuries are pretty fucking serious nowadays.

Rode T-halls all season with FKS 140s mounted at -1.5 and they were probably one of the best skis I've ever ridden. When I had alpha 1s I had them mounted at -2.5 but probably would have liked them better around -1 or even centered for more tail. But I've never been a big fan of center mounting skis.

center, they are a park ski and that is where they will be the most fun.

Well it depends on where you get em too. I got em for 280$ at my local Getboards shop, and it was way more on their website. But either way, everyone here usually knows their shit. So don't blow more money then you have to.

I have the Thalls this season, I monted a set of salomon STH 16's at -1.5. Rode them for about 2 months they felt good. Then I remounted at center and they felt so much better. I really prefered center for park and surprisingly for all mountain use as well. I really feel the thall is best centered, but play around and see what you like.
All times are Eastern (-5)
