Bindings for the k2 poacher?

[J_Nyk22]

I’ve been doing some research on what bindings to throw on my 2020 k2 poachers that I just bought, I found a deal on look pivot 12s but I heard they are a bit hefty, and if paired with the already chunky k2 poachers, would it still be fine for swinging them around in the park? I know there’s some other options, and they’re all good, but what’s the best? I ski west coast, am 5’10 150 lbs, just got k2 poachers in 177, am just sort of starting out in the park, I’m a strong advanced everywhere else on the mountain but just looking to advance in park. I’ll probably end up doing 65/35 park/all-Mtn. Any input would be appreciated.

Edit: Also, where should I mount them? I know it’s a controversial topic but I don’t think I’ll mount them dead Center since they are kinda directional and I won’t be using them purely for park.

I have tyrollia attack2 16 on my poachers and ski them pretty much all park and they are really fun i’d recommend them if you can get a deal on em

get whatevers cheaper except any binding under 13 and griffons. I recomend mounting them at center marked on the ski wich is like .5 back from true center.

I would probably only set my DIN around 7-8, would it still be necessary to get bindings over 13? Because the deal is on pivot 12’s, the next ones are an extra $50.

You’d be coolin w pivots man! They’re a little heavier than a Griffon or an Attack but the trade off is that they’re more durable. Since the weight is so close to your boot, you don’t feel the swing weight at all!
