I need advice on which bindings and boots to get this year on a budget preferably under 200$ for both.
I ride 50% park and the rest just around the mountain.
Too lazy to search right now so bear with me.

not to be gay, but this should probably be moved to gear talk

For boots GO TO A BOOT FITTER. They may have last years models on sale. Either way, comfort is worth that extra $50 or $100. Trust me. I cheaped out on boots and got some langes. They were absolutely terrible. Cheapest park boots that i can think of are SPK kreations and the old full tilt booters.

As for binding do you know your din setting? There is no point buying a 4-14 bindings if your din is a 6 or a 7. Mines a 6 and my bindings are rossi freeski2 100's (din 3.5-10). Just buy a good binding that fits your din, you want to be right in the middle of the bindings high and low dins.

What you need to realize is that ski boots are BY FAR the most important part of you're ski equipment. Spend the extra money on boots, you won't regret it.

Get some shitty random entry level boots that are a couple sizes too big for you and some shitty used 10 din bindings. Ebay for both. You clearly don't care at all so I'm sure that will cut it.
