Does /xs/ prefer step or strap on bindings? Do step ons work in deep powder?

I bought clickers and had no idea what to expect as I'm a noob to the sport. I thought they were just what everyone used but so far I've seen no one else with them. No complaints about them, but my boots are old as shit apparently and the straps broke off. Thinking about just getting conventional bindings and not having broken gear

Should I buy new snowboard from mid-priced brand like Termit or better to buy used one but from Burton?

I went from being a heel side hero to a toe side hero. But at least I had the balls to go straight a bit too. I need to intentionally practice turns next time. Whenever I try it I devolve into spinning heel toe heel toe until I get dizzy

I want to buy pic related. Anyone use them? I'm in Ohio, and our ski resorts are basically hard icey with a thin layer of snow. Felt like I was falling on slightly softer concrete.

I seriously need to get to the mountain in the morning or ask for work to change my schedule so i can avoid school ski club nights. Every fucking time I've been hit while snowboarding it's been some kid on skis going down the mountain like a missle and not watching where they're going.

LFG (Colorado) Ikon Pass must have beacon, probe, shovel, whistle, gopro. Can ride weekdays/weekends. Exclusively 2x black EX terrain & hike-back.
I was dropping 25' cliffs and starting slides on unstable slopes yesterday and I'm done doing it without a partner. I want someone to find my body.

I don't like step ons. I was just at Mt Hood and tried them for the first time. Fresh powder was sticking to it like bubble gum and it was annoying having to swipe it off my boots every time I needed to step in.

It's my 2nd season, I am finally making some deep carved turns with razor thin lines on red/blue/green slopes.
I am also now starting to be able to navigate in between trees, hitting side cuts and slowly becoming comfortable with being airborne and sticking my landings, though I only land on my heel side because my ankles are kind of fucked.I have these old bindings with thick foam straps. All the new ones seem to have that webbed plastic strap instead.
I'm wondering if switching to a new one will help improve my toe side feel/response? There is definitely a lot of play/cushion with the foam straps and I always kind of have to exaggerate my movements when I'm doing anything toe side. It's very noticeable when initiating toe side turns.

Today I took a "break day" just to learn how to ride switch the bunny hill and green runs and so far it's been some of the most fun I've had this season and it's just been slipping and sliding around like a jackass.

My local shop has flux bindings on sale for $99, should I cop them or save up for some supermatics if I want a rear entry binding. Burton stepons were too loose feeling for me and I miss wearing my vans.

Any Coloradofags here? I've always wondered if it's possible to ride all year since there are so many mountains. Or do the mountains also melt down in the summer?

havent snowboarded in over 10 years. did the industry agree on universal step-in standard yet? back then every manufacturer had their own shit which they would discontinue few years in.

oh and the other really nice thing about a pack is that if you fall in deep snow it gives you a platform you can use to get back up

3 months to go, local resort opening last week of December. Early bird rate season passes go on sale next month.
3 seasons I've been riding cheapo Salomon boots and bindings.
Christmas came early and I got myself some post season sale stuff, 24-25 Nidecker Index and 24-25 Now/Yes Drive. Sold my old Korua Otto and replacing it with the Cafe Racer, first time I'm changing my setup and I'm changing it big time.
Anyone else have the Now/Yes bindings with skaketech? Does it actually feel different or is it one big meme?
Also, what are you homos excited for this season?

Step-ons are for rich middle-age casuals that think bending down and strapping in is what holds them back from snowboarding
And no they absolutely don't work in powder
No chance getting back in once you're in somewhat deep snow because there's no resistance against the ground to push your foot into.
Also the release lever on the side will wear out and won't stay up so you'll be bending down and holding onto the lever as you take your boot out.
Put the money you save on step-ons and buy good boots and good strap bindings instead for the love of god
t. rental shop rat with step-on experience (and not the rental specific ones but actual retail ones)

Been using step-on for 2 full seasons, they do work in powder easy, you just need to do it standing, so need a bit of balance, maybe not for beginners.
Benefit is limited for experience riders, traditional bindings I can strap in standing in 3 sec, step-on I can step in on the go.
I work in a ski resort and spend 100+ days per season riding.Oh, and I got my stepons dirt cheap lol
(Even still, I have considered switching back to straps, maybe after mine broke)
