These snowboarding bindings won’t pigeon-whole you on the resorts. You can rip the slopes on your favorite groomed tracks, sure, but you can also go off-piste and even drop into the bowl with Arbor Hemlocks Freerides.
Beginner boarders with some skating background will like riding on these and more intermediate and expert riders will also enjoy the looser feel, small jumps and dips.
The Hemlock is a pretty decent binding for the casual rider. Charging in the backcountry will perform less admirably, but there’s so much room to play on these
