I have a pair of Volkl Step 148 jr ski. They are the 2014 one. The waist width is 85. I need some bindings for them. I am a stalky kid so... Im 5'4 and 135 pounds. I will be park skiing of course. I would like to keep it $150. Any suggestions on bindings?

Marker griffon or attack 13. Both are lightweight and will be plenty durable at your weight. What din do you currently ride at?

marker squires are good. Im around your size/weight and they work great for me.

You're 5'4 and 135 and you're riding a 148 jr ski? You should be skiing a ski around 160 cm. that ski is way too small for you.

160 cm is huge for park skiing for my height.

profahoben is right, they should be more like 155-160, salomon sth 12 or the griffon would work

Rossi axial 2 120 l would be good that's what I'm getting for my k2 presses 150. And I agree with everyone else a 148 is way to small, I'm 4'11 and I ride 150s.

Axial 2s are heavy as hell compared to other bindings like sth2, griffons, or attack 13s
