Bindings?

[u/Gregskis]

It’s 90° in the PNW but I’m thinking about skiing. Can’t decide between Pivots, Jesters or the color matched Salomon bindings. Decisions decision.

[u/harpokuntish]

Almost definitely

[u/cacarson7 → u/harpokuntish]

Oh fer sure!!

[u/Der_Kommissar73 → u/cacarson7]

I also would put bindings on those skis.

[u/Nerdsofafeather → u/harpokuntish]

Nah. Don't worry about it.

[u/Backwoods_Outside_ → u/harpokuntish]

Those are sick. Definitely put bindings on. BTW, after you put bindings on, maybe organize your ski collection so you are ready for the snow. Skiladder.com

[u/Rare-Possible1142]

Yes, put some on.

[u/Dangerous_Mango_3637 → u/Rare-Possible1142]

Free the feet!

Use grip tape. It works for skate boarders, and they are super cool.

[u/Jazzlike-Many-5404]

Strives. Best bang for buck

[u/GaIaxian → u/Jazzlike-Many-5404]

I second this

[u/bc13317]

Yes, most mfrs recommend using bindings

[u/Hot_Cattle5399]

Highly recommended

[u/the_climaxt]

I just deck screw the boots straight to the sticks.

[u/Playf1]

Nah.  They look dope how they are.  Don’t mess up the top sheet by drilling into them.

[u/shoclave]

Union forces

[u/Jazzlike-Many-5404 → u/shoclave]

Upvote for the shitpost.

You use them? I’m looking for a responsive binding for my board.

[u/Tslate00 → u/Jazzlike-Many-5404]

Forces are good middle of the road workhorse bindings, they do everything you need to but they’re a middle flex binding so not the most responsive but not the worst

[u/TJBurkeSalad]

Salomon bindings on Salomon skis is the correct choice in this instance.

[u/Src248]

Strive 16 for sure. Best bindings out there imo, and I've skied most of them. (Pivot 15 are my second choice)

[u/_SkyDweller_]

No, double sided tape should work.

[u/jarheadatheart → u/_SkyDweller_]

I prefer Velcro so you don’t have to take your boots off to walk around.

[u/Doogie102]

Duck tape

[u/kjhuddy18]

Color match. Salomon bindings are fine

[u/gato-beans]

I’m not seeing any at all. I’d probably buy some.

[u/hipppppppppp]

Tele

[u/eastskier]

Strives, get the extra warranty 

[u/skifreek]

Blue Pivot 2.0

[u/OEM_knees]

Strive 16

[u/Paid2G00gl3]

Pivots - especially in pnw. Little extra weight goes a long way on cruddy days.

Edit: Pivot 15s

[u/tbville36]

Nah, send it!!!

[u/jarheadatheart]

Nah. Real skiers don’t need em.

[u/sbonner708]

Pivot 15 without a doubt

[u/Ok_Permission_8516]

Looks

[u/Wishfer]

Wait just a minute… https://pandopak.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/WechatIMG469.png

[u/Correct-Lab-2164]

Jesters are the lightest.

[u/Vomath]

Nah, you don’t need em

[u/Freeheel4life]

Bishop BMFs would be a better binding than all the ones you listed.

[u/Affectionate_News_25]

Bindings? Overrated.

[u/Gregskis]

The Pivot 15 Harlaut or Strive 16 in red and white are my top choices.

[u/Stunning-Present8716]

Meidjo 3.0 homey

[u/PhraseNeither9539]

Marker Gryfins 

[u/Dharma2go]

Nope. Those are skis!

[u/Dales_Dead_Bug_]

I have the same skis and went with the purple strive 16s 

https://www.skiessentials.com/products/2025-salomon-strive-16-gw-bindings-l41774800?color=prpl+shifted_or&brake%2520size=90+mm

I think together they look perfect. 

[u/Icy_Cod_9044]

Look Pivots. Nothing else.

[u/windowlatch]

I’m biased against Marker but I would get whatever pivots or Salomon’s look best to you. 14+ din bindings, don’t cheap out and get the 12s

[u/Al_Pines]

Beautiful skis

[u/Fixinbones27]

Yes. Lol

[u/zeromadcowz]

Bindings are just foot prisons, you don’t need them. Please post video of your first run.

[u/shartmaister]

NTN, as all skis should have.

[u/PurpleSailor]

You're gonna need them in a few months!

[u/qberto56]

Pink Salomon strives look sick on the new blanks

[u/neighborhood-stepbro]

Any pivot 15 but the blue pivot 15 2.0s would look sexy af on those

[u/AdmiralZassman]

These should do the tricks https://share.google/images/rezOiumkB5hD6aM1U

[u/Many-Perception-3945]

Go between the reddish sections

[u/Deep_Highlight4983]

I preach pivots, but it also depends on what kind of skiing we doing.

[u/jstaffmma]

if you’re skiing cascades get pivots
