Do you want to use trekkers or get a dedicated touring binding?

I think a touring binding would be a little extreme for my needs.

good point.
i would consider a touring binding.
i just have not ever used a touring binding so i don't know what to look out for, or expect.

you obviously won't be riding "backcountry" or this wouldn't even be a question. learn the difference between backcountry and the trees off to the side of the lift

sth14 drivers, as already stated, also get my vote

Sidecountry or Backcountry? Make up your mind. Like Balto said.. If it's just sidecountry once in a while with park as well, I'd recommend my bindings: STH 12, or 14. If you're actually riding backcountry and you have big powder skis and plan on hiking, you should already know that you need a touring binding..
