How do you adjust ski bindings to fit new ski boots?

ive been skiing since i was 2 and i can do this pretty well. it depends on the binding. there is a screw on the back of the binding. loosen it, then push it back or foward(depending if the boot is too big or to small) once it is in the right position then you need to tighten the screw. if it is giving you trouble then take it into the ski shop.

Reply:Take your skis and boots to the shop you bought them (or other ski shop) and let professionals do it. Proper binding adjustment is crucial for your safety - don%26#039;t take chances.
Reply:The above answer is the correct one. If you do not have adjustable bindings on your ski%26#039;s the only way to adjust to a new boot is have them binding re-mounted onto the ski. That means that the ski shop will have to re-drill new holes and fill-in the first ones.





On the other hand, some bindings are meant to be adjustable. %26quot;Demo%26quot; bindings ski shops use for rentals are made to move a specific distance to accomodate different ski boots. And some bindings, that are not demo bindings, are adjustable. Salomon Pilot bindings are an example of a binding that will adjust to different boot sizes.





If you don%26#039;t have a clue as to what I%26#039;m writing about, you need to go to a ski shop and let them do it. Bindings that are not properly mounted and set-up will do HARM to your legs. Enjoy!
