What kind of binding works best for this type of ski? I can't find many bindings that can span a 128mm waist.

Jeff - Try the Jesters if these skis are going to be used mainly inbounds at a ski resort. If you are considering making the Chopsticks your backcountry assault stix, then I'd definitely recommend the Duke bindings with the AT function. A must, indeed!

Marker Royal family have brakes for skis up to 130mm in width, so that could be the Jester/Griffon or the Duke/Baron. Other than that though, not many companies are selling brakes for that size. They are starting to get replacement brakes you can order separately but that's extra cash.
