I just purchased a pair of Volkl Gotamas (176cm: 133 / 105 / 124mm). I would have liked to have gotten the 183cm but found a ridiculously good deal on the 176. I am 5'9'' and weight about 180 after a big breakfast. I was looking for a good versatile binding. Weight is not of too big of a concern; however, I would like something that has great lateral stability, little pre-release from the toe-piece, and is durable...is that too specific (not)? Right now, the Marker Jester would seem to be my first choice due to the wide toe-piece. I am a fairly aggressive skier and will spend the majority of the time in off-piste terrain or in the trees looking for those last few bits of fluffy stuff. I spend little time in the park and do not huck myself off too many big jumps but will occasionally. So, what are some other bindings I should consider? Are there any concerns I should have with the Jester? Lastly, would you recommend the 90mm (rebend) or the 110mm? Thanks for your help.

These bindings aren't just for park or cliff hucks, they can handle any kind of skiing you throw at them. For other bindings I personally love the Look PX 15 FS WB. It has a longer footprint, and is extremely good at trees and off-piste. There really are no major faults in the Jester, it has good powder transmission, low swing drag and are pretty cool. Can't really go wrong. Go for the 110mm binding though, which will fit well with your ski, and won't void your warrantee with a rebend.
