How do I choose Ski Bindings that match my Skis and Boots?

When choosing a ski binding it is important to match the strength and retention the binding offers with your weight and skiing ability. Calculate your DIN to make sure the binding you choose accommodates it optimally!

How to pick the right size of Ski Bindings?

Ski binding sizing is based mainly on brake width, which needs to be wide enough to clear the waist of your ski. For example, if your ski is 100mm wide, you’ll want a binding with a brake width close to 100mm so it fits properly. The binding should be wide enough to avoid dragging in the snow but not so wide that it sticks out excessively. Choosing the correct binding size helps ensure proper performance and safe ski release.

Can I put bindings on skis myself?

No, ski bindings should always be mounted by a certified ski service shop. Proper mounting is critical for both performance and safety. The toe and heel pieces must be placed in the correct position, and the bindings must be precisely adjusted to match your ski boots. Incorrect mounting or adjustment can prevent the bindings from releasing properly, increasing the risk of injury. A professional mounting ensures your bindings work as designed and keep you safe on the mountain.
