Replying to Buying new bindings for the first time in like 6 years
I've had my bindings since I was well under 100 pounds, now I'm about 125, and I ski way harder than when I first got them. I have the Marker M11 bindings from quite a few years ago and they really aren't holding up with the way I ski even at high dins. If I go off a cliff, and then make a hard turn afterwards to scrub my speed, my skis are likely to just pop right off. Sometimes even just making a hop turn over a mogul will knock them off, and going off big cliffs and landing in the hardpack they are very likely to fall off. One of the other problems is that when I was younger I would just ski with one ski when going off jumps in my backyard because I didn't feel like carrying both my skis up the hill so I'm very comfortable on one ski and often I don't realize I lost the ski until I'm way below it.
I'm about 125, not really growing anymore but I'm trying to put on a lot of mass, and I ski pretty hard. I'm on the Salomon Czar 174 which is a 111 under waist big mountain ski with a long rocker. Anyone have any recommendations for bindings? Not looking to spend too much but I want something that will allow me to feel more confident pushing my skis as hard as I like to push them.
