    What bindings do you use? 

    The Jester Pro, Schizofrentic and Duke

    Why do you like this binding?

    I really like the Jester Pro because of it’s wide platform that allows you to initiate your turn earlier then most bindings, it’s also highly durable and has a metal bar that allows you to kick off ice and snow easily without damaging the binding.  I like the duke because it is easy to use in the backcountry and I have full confidence in charging any line after I’ve skinned to the top of a peak, which I can’t say I’ve experienced with any other backcountry binder.  I like the Schizofrentic while Heliskiing or Sidecountry skiing because you can adjust your stance depending on the conditions, how hard you want to charge or if you want to land backwards off of anything. I can adjust them without even clicking out of my skis, it’s that easy!

    Where do you mount them? 

    Core Center

    What DIN do you have your bindings on? 

    I usually ride on 15 or 16.
