I'm looking for bindings for my Drifters (picture below) and I'm wondering what to get for them



I'm looking at the look Px12s on backcountry, here's the link http://www.backcountry.com/look-px-12-ski-binding?rr=t should I order these bindings in the wide or XXL option. The ski is 110 at the waist so basically I'm wondering which brakes will fit. I plan on a center mount.

Thanks!

i'd go with the xxl, it is 115mm wide so it will fit the ski well without bending!

Hey man I wouldn't center mount if I was you. Drifters are a directional ski so if keep them at recommended or maybe +1 or 2 for that more freestyle feel you are seeking for.

I've thought about this for a while and honestly I'm stuck. I've been told that I should center mount them as my majority of riding is east coast park and because anything pretzeled on a rail feels odd when not centered. But... I do want them to do well in powder when we do get it. I'll take your advice into consideration, thanks.

Well I guess if you are on the east coast you won't get too much pow or even too deep of pow so you could center mount. But if you were out west that's a hole other story.
