Salomon makes great boots and bindings, no doubt. I have to recommend the SPX45 to you mainly because they have an easier highback forward lean adjuster. As a nub you will want to be playing around with different forward lean angles to see what is best for you and it's just better to have that to be easy to do on the fly. The Force are good rigs too, but they are more for experienced riders on a budget who already know their highback lean settings then just go.Make sure you get the right size binding!
