willie this is one last question for you - i think i've about decided on the 186 prophet 100. so now its all about the binding. a couple of people i know have suggested the marker griffon and jester and i'm wondering what you think about those two bindings? I know you like the PX 14 but the marker seems a bit lighter. weird thing is as far as i can tell the jester doesn't come in a 100mm brake. for a reminder im 6'11" 165. So i know i've asked this questiona about 10 time already but 186 a good length?

Yes you could handle the 186, if your still growing you may out grow the 179 pretty quick. if your worried about them being to long just mount more foreward of the line. if you look at the turn radius of the 186 it is 18.5 meters still a very quick ski. I know a lot of people love the jester and its a good binding just expensive, the griffin is really light because of all the plastic in it, to me it does not seem like it would hold up, also the toe piece mounts with only two screws. I could see a big guy pulling it out, people are to concernd about the weight of bindings 1/2 LB is not enough to notice under your foot. I don't know if a wide brake comes standard on the jester, but they are used alot on fat powder skis so there must be a brake availible, and i heard its expensive. good luck with your new skis, they rip.-onece again willie i appreciate all your help
