I was skiing yesterday in slush (east is raining like hell. )  I went to do a 3 off a tiny table and I came down rotated to far foward and my right tip jabbed into the snow and ejected (atleast thats what I though happened. )  I walked to put my ski on and my front piece of my binding had broken off, the screws diddn't come off the ski, the plastic of the binding snapped off.  I have Marker Jesters on Anthems, Supposidly they are extremely durrable, and most people I know complain about griffons breaking but never jesters.  Anyone know about warrentys or anything?

that sucks, but I would have to say that your first problem is that you got marker bindings.

What kind of binding do you have, a buddy broke his end piece after doing a box. He had the fishers

well, i've never used the jesters but i broke some dukes the other day after three days on them (yea, i was pissed!)

but last year I had a pair of movement bindings that broke in a way that sounds similar to what you just described. I was doing a nose butter 360 and when I landed I was backseat - and the toe piece kind of exploded... this happened two days or so after my rossi toe piece broke on my pow skis. I've had absolutely horrible luck with bindings the past two years.

Hate to break it to you, but plastic bindings are for 10 year old girls.

Solly 997/977/957 for life.

You've never heard of Jester's breaking?  They look like a fairly solid binding, but I don't think it's worth that much money.  I'm just not comfortable with so many burly metal parts housed by plastic ones.  Sure lots of people have success, that's inevitable.  I am pretty big though so I expect my bindings to take some abuse.
