I grew up skiing White Pass over twenty years ago, and can still be found exploring its surrounding slopes.  I really enjoy skiing, and spend as much time doing it as possible.  But skiing isn’t all that is important.  I like to do a lot of other activities, especially with my family and friends.  They are the ones that have been there from the beginning, and will be there until the end.  I cannot thank them enough, so I will share smiles and great memories with them until that end comes.

What Marker bindings do you use?

Jester Pro, and Duke

Why do you like this binding? 

The Jester Pro has an 18 DIN and a sweet reinforced toe, which is also a great boot scraper.  The Duke is a solid touring binding that can withstand high speeds and high impacts.

Where do you mount them? 

I mount all my skis 1/2cm back from center.

What DIN do you have your bindings on? 

My bindings range from 12-14.
