Step-in snowboard binding

A step-in snowboard binding 100 provides a base assembly 200 which is adjustably attached to the snowboard at an angle that is selected by the user. A front assembly 300 and a back assembly 400 are pivotally carried by the base assembly and are pivotally connected to each other. The front and back assemblies pivot between a closed and locked boot-restraining position, and an open step-in/out position. In a preferred embodiment, the front assembly carries an adjustable toe strap 350 and an adjustable foot strap 360. A fastening assembly 500 releasably locks the front and back assemblies together in the closed boot-restraining position. With both boots locked in the boot restraining position, the user is able to operate the snowboard. The fastening assembly is easily released, allowing the front and back assemblies to pivot to the step-in/out position. In this position, the user is able to step into or out of each binding.
