Requirements for bindings:
KNEE-friendly (I busted ACL/MCL a few years ago). Have heard good
things about Marker

Please, any recommendations and thoughts!


Here's my thoughts. Skiing hurts knees. Bindings offer no help,
regardless of brand / model.


Yeah, the idea of bindings releasing is that you don't break bones. The soft
bits of the knee will be gone, if they were going to go, before you release.

That said, I like to be able to twist my foot out of my binding when standing
still. it's fun to do, too.


And if they fall off - I'm skiing wrong.
