Hey all i just bought the 13/14 SFB's and i've been doing a lot of research on which bindings to choose. I am really digging the Salomon STH2 13 bindings, but i'm still unsure. Anybody have a solid opinion here for what bindings would work best with this ski?

I'm 5'7, 135lbs and ski all mountain aggressively.

Thank you!

The STH2 13's would be perfect. Go with those.

Cool man thanks for the reply. They are going for like 180 bucks. Do you think if i wait they will go down even more or will they just be out of stock/discontinued? Are bindings the same as skis regarding how they only make one model per year and then always make a new model and stop producing the old?

They may be discounted more, but they may go out of stock at that price if you wait (I'm not sure what retail for them is). However, they will be the exact same next year. Bindings aren't like skis where they can make small changes year to year, because there is a huge amount of r&d involved. The fks have been the same for years, as were the original sth's, until they were replaced by the sth2 last year

So if i wait until the fall they won't release a whole new model at a rediculous retail price? Or will they just restock the vendors that sell the sth2 (the binding will be the exact same) ?

They might change the colorway but that will be the only change. The only thing is this years will be cheaper because they are the 2013/2014 version and the new ones will be the 2014/2015 version. Exactly the same but the old ones will be cheaper because the new ones will be at retail, and not on sale
