Looking for a binding that works well with both all mountain and terrain park. I am 5'11 and 155lbs. Torn between the two. Help?

The binding will also need a ski brake able to fit a pair of Line Chronics. (92mm)

Do not get griffon, I have heard good things about px12's. Also consider Salomon STH 12 Driver, STH 14 Driver, Rossignol FKS 140, FKS155, Look Pivot 14. All great bindings

I would deifinitely get the PX12 over the Griffon, the PX12 is far superior, take a look at my review of them here -

Marker is all marketing. When's the last time you saw a rossi binding ad?

PX jibs are just heavy. I really liked them though, solid binding. Much bigger fan of FKS/pivots thought. I have a pair of griffons but i haven't mounted them to anything yet so i can't speak for them minus that most marker bindings are notorious for brake problems

not sure if pun or bad spelling.. probably pun.

Anyway, look at those Rossi FKS bindings and the Salomon STH or Atomic equivalent of the STH
