It's spring, flowers are blooming, etc. ....
I'm considering doubling my ski quiver by getting Rossignol Soul 7s as my soft snow ski (my hard snow ski is a Kendo). I think I'll get Tyrolia Attack 13 for the bindings. Apart from the actual merits of choosing this particular ski and binding, there is an important (!?) aesthetic aspect to this transaction: the bindings come in black, neon green, and bright red. Which to choose?
Thanks!

- The skis are predominately black, so the black binding would be a stately, conservative choice. And Zorro was my hero as a young boy.
- The green bindings would add some zing*, and would make my skis easier to find on a crowded ski rack after lunch at the base lodge. As you can see from my picture, the rest of my ski outfit has no "zing". (the counter argument is that black bindings would certainly be consistent with that overall gestalt).
- The red bindings would also add zing, but the tone might be slightly off (and thus possibly clash) with the red/orange trim on my new Lange RX 120 ski boots (thanks, Taos BootDoctors!). Also, I wonder if the green or red bindings would look like that 1994 Corolla where the owner replaced the right front fender but painted it a different color than the rest of the car.
Thanks!
