What binding for 6"3 190lb intermediate park oriented skiier

I was wondering which affordable binding I should grab for a new pair of skis. I'm 6'3 190 and an intermediate skier.

I usually have my din set at 8. Would the Marker Free Ten work?

Any other options? I'm trying not to break the bank if possible.

Thanks guys.

The Free 10 would work, but it wouldn't be the binding I would choose for you.

I would get a pair of HEAD GTO 15s from Levelnine sports instead. It's based off of their 15-DIN metal race binding, but it has a DIN range from 5 to 15, so you would be perfect in it.

They're cheap and durable.

Isn't the idea of a park binding to get you lower to the skis. Those ones seem race oriented and pretty high up.

Bindings are bindings. Just like alpine boots are alpine boots.

The best bindings on the market started out as race bindings. Some people like to be a little lower on their skis, but I doubt that you'll notice a difference.

The reason I recommended those is that the Free 10 is a bag of garbage. The GTO 15 is THE BEST bang for your buck binding on the market. Period. You will not find a better binding for $100.
