The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

I have personally used the Marker Jester 16 bindings for the last 5 years on my resort skis. I ski very hard and have a 10 DIN. Even though I am not at the high end of the binding (16 DIN), I find that having the high quality build of a higher DIN binding gives me confidence in the release and durability of the bindings. I have never had any pre-releases. The bindings reliably release when I need them to in the event of a big crash.

Anyone that is sending small to medium cliffs (<15 feet) and skis very aggressively (straightlining, smashing through moguls, quick/sharp turns, etc) will find that this binding performs perfectly for their needs.

Ideal for
  • These bindings have a mostly metal construction which makes them very durable.
  • With a DIN range up to 16, these things are ready to send big cliffs and handle whatever is thrown at them
  • Solid releases. I have had multiple gnarly double ejection falls and they released as they should.
Not ideal for
  • Some components are not the absolute highest end- look to the Jester 18 Pro for peak performance.
  • Heavy binding. Not designed for alpine touring.

The Marker Jester 16 ID bindings were newly redesigned to fit perfectly in the Marker Royal Family collection for the 2023 season. It sits midway between the Marker Griffon 13 and the Marker Jester 18. If the Griffon 13 is too little, and the Jester 18 seems like overkill, the extraordinary feel and look of the Jester 16 will be a good fit. Weight has been minimized, but not at the expense of that Jester bombproof feel. It is a viable big mountain and "sendy" binding option for more aggressive skiers.

Key Features:

  • Anti-Ice Rail on Toe – The bottom of the boot can be scraped on the toe piece to knock off ice before clicking in.
  • Sole ID Plate – The height-adjustable gliding plate is compatible with alpine, touring, and GripWalk boot soles.
  • Inner Pivot Freeride Heel – This is the third and newest generation of Marker Heel Pieces, built to improve power transmission, step-in comfort, and energy absorption when skiing.

I have a pair of these mounted on my groomer skis, Volkl Kendos, so I mainly ski these bindings on trail. Off trail I tend to opt for Look Pivots since I really value the rotating heel and ability to side release. That being said, if you are looking for a secure and stable binding, this is a great option.... Read more
Ideal for
  • Very secure feeling binding
  • Use of metal makes the binding feel very durable (especially compared to Griffons)
  • Great power transfer to ski
Not ideal for
  • Heel makes it a bit hard to click out

Vincent done did it again! Had a friend refer me and boy was it the best decision ever. Vincent was very knowledgeable and definitely catered to my needs. He didn’t send the most expensive bindings and hoped for the best. I told what I was looking for and delivered. Not one or two options but many options. I definitely recommend him as your expert!

Kyle was extremely helpful and patient in guiding me through the shopping experience. He sent me multiple videos reviewing snowboards, boots, and bindings based on my needs. He was open to feedback and questions, and ensured that I made the best choice for my needs. I'd highly recommend Kyle for anyone looking for a friendly expert to guide them through buying their snow gear!

I had insomnia that night and found the Curated for the first time. I was curious about contacting an expert who turned out to be Andrew at 4 AM PST. I expected to get an answer a few hours later since it was in the middle of the night. I turned off my computer and went into bed he responded a few minutes later. Hopefully, I didn't wake him up, or maybe he's on EST time but either way, he's on his game.

I had many questions, and after a few days we finally got stuff figured out. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful and knowledgeable which is defiantly better then going to facebook marketplace. I tried that, but the information from an expert just helps much more. I would defiantly recommend Ryan to other customers.

I very much enjoyed working with Leo on my ski purchase. I had done some research on my own but had not settled on a particular ski. I came across Curated by accident and did not know I would be connected to a live person - and someone who is quite knowledgeable as well! Leo listened to what I was looking for and put together some recommendations personalized for me. I was able to review these on my own schedule and later discuss my questions with Leo to finalize my selection. I’ll definitely recommend Leo and Curated to friends and will be back for my next pair of skis!

I was super skeptical of this website at first I assumed the suggestions were just from an AI generated bot, but Leo is definitely a real human and a knowledgeable one at that! He knew the area i ski in maine and made suggestions based off my skill level and northeast conditions. Can’t wait to take my new gear out in a few months!
