I am trying to decide on what ski binding I should get. I am 5'8 and weigh 115 pounds and I am a pretty advanced park and skiier I would prefer Salomon Marker or Rossignol. Thanks, Cam

so you have narrowed it down to every brand on the market? good start.

^Not helpful.
What brands does your local shop carry OP? That might be a good place to start.
At your size, you probably won't run into some of the issues that older/larger/harder skiing people run into with some bindings . Pretty much every binding company makes something that would suit your needs, so mabeye just see what brands you can get in the first place and narrow it down from there.
Also, figure out what your DIN is, (what the bindings are set to release at), and pick a binding where your DIN will fall approximately in the middle of the range. Most any modern binding will still function at whatever DIN you set it at, but there is no point in buying an 18 DIN binding if you will only ride it at 8.

Of those three bindings I've only used the Griffons, they were fine, but nothing spectacular. As far as I know, sth bindings have a pretty good reputation. I don't know much at all about rossignol axial bindings.

From those three options you can probably narrow it down to one fairly easily. There are plenty of threads on TGR/NS from people who know more about these bindings than I do.
