Hello NS, I need new bindings for a pair of powder/all mountain skis. Is there anything you would recommend?

About me: Type III, 6' 175LB, will be skiing, crud, cliffs/jumps and deep stuff.

Yes I know there is that "What binding thread", but is there anythings specific you wouldn't or would recommend?

If you are looking for an AT binding:
Salomon Guardian. I like these because the locking mechanism is metal on metal and you can release it with your boot in the binding. Some people prefer the duke but it is metal on plastic or plastic on plastic and you must remove the ski to activate the walk mode.

If you are looking for a non-At binding:
Tyrolia peak 15 or 18 depending on where your din is at.
Salomon Sth 16

The FKS bindings are great also but they have a very narrow heel mounting pattern, which puts more of a stress on them driving larger skis. Both the salomon and the tyrolia have wider mounting patterns and reduce the risk of ripping out. Not saying that the fks will rip out, just that it is more likely.

Those are just my suggestions, everyone has their brand preference and you will have different answers from everyone
