Do not buy marker Dukes, you weigh 135 for God's sake and those bindings cost a fortune. You can put any durable 12 DIN binding on those skis and they will perform just fine. Just because they are pow skis doesn't mean you automatically need a 16 DIN binding that you ride at 8, so don't listen to the 100 people who are going to tell you to get them.
I recommend these since I have used them most recently:
-Salomon STH
-Deadbolts, Mojos, etc. (the new ones, not the Vist ones)
-FKS 12 (15 is a good one too because the DIN goes as low as 6 and they release differently. The 15 doesn't have vertical toe release and the toe is a metal bombshell. Your choice there, but as stated above, you probably don't need 15's)
-Rossi SAS style bindings are great in my experience, but lots of people don't like them so look into it first.
-Barons are the less beefy version of the Duke if you need a touring binding.

If you area an aggressive skier, got with either a Marker Jester (Din 16) or Salomon STH 16, both have a wide platform, the Jester's is a bit wider. If you're not very aggressive, then get some Salomon STH 12/14 or Marker Griffon (Din 12), the Marker is a bit wider, along with a better mounting pattern.

Even if u bump it up a bit u may be 4-12 din range.....Marker Jesters are up to 16. Griffons are up to 12 and may be for u. Yeah u need wide ski brakes. I think they make a 110 size.
U may have to look into who makes medium din with wide brakes.....Rossi...but my rossi's were always a pain in deep snow.
Salomons are usually lighter.
See if next year's 2009-2010 Marker schizo has a din that works for u. This binding slides back and forth so u mount it once and u can set it (back) for deep pow and move it up for switch. But din may be 16.
