Marker Jester Schizo 16 Ski Binding
Marker made headlines with the award-winning Jester Ski Binding, and this year’s Jester Schizo 16 Ski Binding will blow your mind like the boss calling up on a 3-foot powder day and saying you’re free to just come in at 3:00. The key to its amazing-ness? You get the safety and performance of the Jester Binding, plus the ability to slide the binding forward or backward three centimeters in either direction. On a pow day, sit back and float the deeps, and for an aggressive freestyle session, slide forward to slay the park.
- Compact, fat footprint provides superior lateral control and allows the ski to flex naturally
- Triple-Pivot toe and Inter-Pivot Heel absorb energy to prevent premature release and offer excellent contact area with boot lugs
- Wide mounting pattern transfers power to powder skis with a minimum width of 76mm
- Binding slides forward or backward 3cm from center stance, so you can adjust for powder, all-mountain, or park / pipe turning
- Turn the screw on the toe piece to slide binding—and you don’t need to step out of it to do so
Bottom Line: The next step in ski binding evolution. Next stop: opposable thumbs.

Still the best!

The Jester has changed backcountry skiing for me. In the past I skied on the fritschi bindings in the backcountry. I was always walking out of my skis and they would torque when climbing up. If I was planning on skiing hard in the backcountry, I would opt to book pack. The Jester is heavy, but it is worth its weight in gold. The binding tours well, very smooth and stable. It is when you get to the top that the binding really shines. As you step into, you here that beautiful sound of a clunk as the binding clamps down onto your boot. And you can ski without any worry of binding fallure. It is the best backcountry freeride binding on the market!
Change me.

Ms. McMillan's review is spot on for the Duke/Baron bindings. However, Jester-Schizo binders aren't for touring, rather they're a resort, freeride binding.
