I would consider myself to be somewhat close to an expert skier. I demolished a pair of 2009 BD stigmas last year, skied a few days on a pair of BD ethics this year and was unsatisfied in the pow. I just ordered some 188 mega's, I do a lot of backcountry skiing but Im more into the book packing than skinning. I live in Colorado and it seems that every day I want to go backcountry the avie conditions are bad so I end up going on piste and boot packing past the ropes. What would be a good binding to drive this ski knowing that I really dont need the AT setup. Thanks!

I think marker duke/baron is the obvious choice here. I have a sidecountry setup that is similar that I use for almost exactly the same things as you seem to intend for these. Big, beefy ski=beefy bindings that fit alpine sole blocks. comparing fritschis to dukes is like comparing a toyota corolla to a BMW. Go heavier and get the control and sturdiness you'll want dropping into chutes and the like.
