Heck Yeah Clickers are back..
K2 clickers are back! Stopping to strap into a snowboard is the dumbest thing in the world. It's 2020 for christ's sake, straps should have died a long time ago... Sitting down to strap in is 80% of the reason I went back to skiing..
I still have a pair of the original clickers with a high-back binding, and they are better then 90% of anything else out there. I tried the Burton system last year, and it never felt as secure as a ratty old pair of K2s' I'm eager to try the new version...

Boarders still need to sit down to strap in? News to me.
Not once have I thought "Damn, I wish had step in bindings!"
10 seconds to buckle in, 3 seconds to unbuckle. Deal with it.

I don't ski with snowboarders who can't strap in standing up and hang trailside without sitting down.

No need for HB. Too easy to clog. They might have better feel and flex but clogging has always been a problem and the highback accentuates that

I never had clogging issues with the clickers, once or twice a year I would mix some light oil (like WD-40) with an Aviation grade grease (kinda like phil wood bike grease on crack cocaine, Aeroshell makes a good one and skygeek.com usually carries it...) rub it on all the metal bits, wipe it off, and nothing would stick to it ever. Ever.

Ive had snowboarders strap in on the lift by having me use my skis as a little platform for them. It was first run on pow days and they didnt want to get snaked to their line by the next chair of people haha. Always happy to help a guy out. My wife wasnt into it when i suggested she try that method instead of sitting down and taking her damn time.

Clickers were great for split boarding. That’s all I have.

a friend of mine used to make a rip cord release system to escape Clickers in an avalanche
I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

K2 made a cord rel;ease system for the clickers. It's too bad after all these years that they can't make a mountain boot to go with it.
The only snowboard binding that releases both feet by pulling the cord. Great for splitboarding in avalanche terrain.
No interest whatsoever in the latest and greatest version.

I've snowboarded exactly twice, the second time on a rental board with K2 clickers. It may have been the way the shop set them up, but it was an exercise in frustration getting back in the damn things. I wanted so bad to throw them off a cliff at Targhee but refrained. I'm sure it was partly operator error by a snowboard jong. Aren't there some SPD type setups now?

Wow! Are we talking about telemark bindings?!?!?!?

Haha. The only tele binding I despised was G3 Targas. I would put my hate right up there with my one day on clickers.
I've been on NTN tele bindings for a decade now. Easy in/out, releasable, brakes, it's changed a lot since I was running Voile CRBs. Do people use tele bindings on snowboards? I'm clueless about anything snowboard obviously, but always curious about gear innovations in general.

Yes all boarders are on tele bindings now.

Tele turns on a splitboard - 0/10, would not recommend.
