I just got back from spending a week in Park City yesterday, and I think it's finally time to take the leap and invest in my own equipment. My biggest concern is boot comfort and quality, because as most of you know, the rentals just plain suck. I'm definitely looking into the speed lace style, with an all-mountain use, no half pipes or anything like that for me yet. I like how you are able to adjust your lower foot, and upper shin/calf area separately. Obviously price ranges are pretty dramatic, and I just feel some of the higher priced ones have luxury items on them that just aren't completely necessary. So what do you guys like shredding the slopes with without breaking the bank? Also, if you guys have a specific binding setup that you absolutely love, I'd like to hear that too.
