Probably some burton bindings or flow.
yes flow is the best brand for bindings in the industry at this time. for the most part you can put any bindings on any board, doesnt matter the company or brand.
Yes they are sick! So much better than any other Burton or Flow binder. I've rode Burton high end bindings and went through my Flow phase. These bindings are top notch, super cush on landings, lightweight, and easily tweakable. And the colors are sick, especially if you are cool enough to match up with the Forum Grudge, or Grudge LRG limited boards (no biases here, lol).
i prefer Burton or axis snowboards then i like flow i thnk k2 is crappy they break and bend to easyK2 4 life
if you have to ask you shouldn't be snowboarding!
Flow brand bindings can be purchased at Flow's website directly. You can also purchase them at Ebay, Nextag or the sports sites Wired Sports or Dog Funk.
When it comes to bindings, it's all upp to personal preference. If you ride park and small mountains and things like that, your would probably want to ride flow bindings since they are quick and easy to get in and out of. If you ride huge mountains or alot of powder, you would want a brand like burton.
I'm not sure where you heard that K2 bindings have design flaws, but I wouldn't agree with that at all. Although I ride traditional strap bindings, K2 makes the Cinch which is their take on a Flow styled convenience binding. As for their regular traditional bindings, I would say that it depends on which model you're looking at. All brands make cheap $129 beginner bindings that are exactly that, for beginners.
No, you have to use boots specific to those bindings. I'm not sure if you have Clickers, the old Switch step in's or something else but I can tell you it is going to be hard to find boots for them and you need to get rid of them! Step in's are outdated and can be unsafe. Flow and K2 make alternative's to these methods that allow you to use any brand of snowboard boot as well and get the performance and response you need.
As Flow bindings have progressed they have gotten much lighter. Back in the day, they were definitely on the heavier side. Now however, there are models that are just as light, if not lighter than traditional strapped bindings. It really depends on which model you're looking at. If you pick up the Flite 1's or Flite 2's which are the first models in the lines then they are going to be much heavier than some of the higher end models in the line.
Mount Hood has a few steam events, but has not had a lava flow in almost two centuries.
