My suggestion is the Marker Schizo in whichever flavor you like. The S7 can be pretty sensitive to mounting point and that can make or break the ski. The ability to roll the binding forward and back at a moments notice is really nice to have.

How about a Salotomic AT binder?

If you aren't going to USE an AT binding then don't throw your money (and the skis performance) away on one. Put a regular alpine binding, of what ever brand you prefer, with a DIN range of at least 12 on and go rip.

^^^^^ What he said. And if you're not going to follow Rossignol suggested mount point (-2 for non-freestyle skiing), then what Epic said. 

2nd what Beyond said.  I'm your size and ski the Super 7 in 195.  If you have the regular S7 its a pretty soft ski for big guys and you don't want to be forward.  And not to sidetrack the thread did you get some demo time on that ski?  The reason I ask is the Super comes in a 188 as well which I think would be a better call for you if you don't want to go to 195 (which if you have the option I would encourage you to consider).  The 7 is a great ski but it skis short and there are some folks on varius threads (blister, TGR) who think even the Super needs more muscle.  If you skied it and liked it then mount em up and hope for snow.  If not there deals are there to be found. 

I would guess 50+ MPH on those would make anyone feel nervous; the reason the Squad 7 is coming out next year is for more stability.  At any rate the 7 is a great ski and I have had many good days on mine.  Not to beat the horse dead but the there's a Super 188 version if you want to go that route.  If you don't go with a schizo a good match for this ski is a Marker Griffon or Jester as they have no stand height and are not heavy.

 Going 60 mph on my S7's would get me into a low earth orbit, and I'm 165 lbs. Not what they're for; if you want that, strongly suggest selling them and looking at some fat black Nordicas for next year. 

What's "alpine replay"?  I am very skeptical about your reported speeds.  It doesn't matter and I don't really care, but my GPS has given me speed data that I know is way higher than I actually travelled.  I find the S7 is pretty good on groomers at "speeds" that make me one of the faster people on the slope if I put them on edge and work the for aft through the turn arc.  There was a day last season when I was skiing with some really strong skiers on perfect wind buff that I was barely keeping up the ski felt very unstable and overly turny.  I was wishing for my E98 that day.

I agree that the ski feels short and my biggest criticism of it is that it should be stiffer.  I ride the 188 standard S7, I'm 5'10" 175lb.  If I get offered skis again this year I might go for a Squad 7 or an E88 to use as a tele set-up

I might go with an AT binding if someone suggests a good one but I am rarely outside the ropes and stay on the resort 95% of the time.  I almost bought a set of Marker Dukes that I came across at ski shop the other day. Had a heck of a price on them but held off. I am open for any suggestions. Thanks.

OK, this is simple, in bounds on a 7 just get a jester, TT or FKS. any of those will be great.

BTW- please let me know where you are doing 60 on a 188 at the boat so I can stay far away! (note not even a super 7!) 

is that with or without spurs?
