Bindings for EP Pros?

Hey gents (and ladies),

I was wondering what kind of bindings you would recommend for EP Pros (2010). I'm ~5'10" and 140 LBS, and so far all I've really looked at are griffons or jesters, so I was looking for some alternatives.

Thanks for your time!

Should've included that, thanks for asking. I ski fairly agressively albeit a little toned down in pow, and the terrain will be smaller drops (probably around 10-20 feet) and a lot of trees/bushes.

Eric Pollard, the man who created your ski uses Marker jester pros, and they seem to work perfectly for him, though keep in mind he is sponsored by Marker

a third of the people will say FKS, another third will say the STH series, then the last third will say marker bindings. these threads are dumb because those are the only 3 bindings NS seems to know about.

I suggest that someone with over 1400 posts on a ski forum should not have to ask the retarded "What bindings?" question.

Well then i apologize for my obvioisly lacking knowledge. As an enlightened individual, would you care to impart your apparent wisdom? Or should i ask someone less arrogant?

I jus slapped jester pros on my opus...haven't had a chance to ride with em yet but I had griffs on there so shy of a little extra weight I'd doubt there'll be a big difference...they work though....I recommended the look pivots though cause this years look sick in chrome....plus they're real legit bindings

Px12ti's are a real legit binding for the price if your an intermediate skier or an expert lighter skier with a din around 10.....but at the level your probably at ridin an ep pro....I dunno if the px12s will cut it homie.....as far as those tyrolia/head things....yes they're bindings and yes they do the job....but they're hideous and I personally don't feel like they transfer enough power to the ski....I had em on some bacons and was so unimpressed that I sold em and redrilled markers.

Jester Pros scare me. They still use the exact same plastic tower thing for the entire top half of the toe-piece that the Jester and Griffin use. If you look at it from the side there's a piece of plastic about 2mm x 7mm on each side holding the whole toe together. Both pairs of Jesters I've broken failed there. So I'm going to FKS and their super burly toes.

I'm not. only salomon's I'll use are the s914 and s916. The fks are bomber, but who doesn't already know that? I mean do you really need to say that? lol marker's serve their purpose but aren't all that great.
