FAQs

Are my ski boots compatible with all bindings? ›

Not all ski boots are compatible with all ski bindings. Using a setup with non-compatible components increases the probability that your skis will not release properly, creating the potential for serious injury.

The waist width of your skis will determine what size brakes you need, while your skiing ability, weight, height and boot sole length will determine the bindings' release force setting (DIN). Once you've established an accurate DIN range and brake width, you can look at additional binding features.

Decide if you want integrated bindings or want to buy bindings separately: Skis with integrated bindings installed are convenient and ensure good performance. However, many intermediate and advanced skiers prefer skis without integrated bindings so they can pick ski bindings that meet their specific needs.

The Shift is an MNC (Multi-Norm Certified) binding, meaning it can fit a variety of ski boots and sole types.

Ski Boot Last or Width

Generally, these lasts can be divided into narrow, medium and wide.

DIN, short for Deutsches Institut für Normung (German Institute for Standardization), is the industry-adopted scale of release force settings for ski bindings.

Tech bindings are far lighter than traditional alpine bindings and allow for easy ski touring capability. They do not provide the elastic travel and consistent releasability of alpine bindings.

GW stands for “Grip - Walk” This refers to a boot sole that facilitates walking, hiking etc. and is very common on ski boots that might have some backcountry use. The “GW” on a binding means that the binding has a configuration that will function properly with the GW boots.

It ultimately depends on your needs and the condition of your skis. For example, if your skis are 15 years old but are still in good shape, then there's no need to replace them just because of their age. But if you notice a considerable dip in performance, handling, and so on, that's your cue to get an upgrade.

Some will say that a ski can be mounted three times, and that's a decent rule of thumb, but not necessarily true all the time. Mounting new bindings to your ski requires drilling new holes into them, and different styles/models/brands of bindings have different screw patterns.

Can you take bindings off skis and reuse them? ›

It's generally not possible to transfer a system binding to a non-system ski. Also, I would not devalue a new ski by mounting it with an old binding if I could avoid it.

From ski manufacturer to producer of winter sports equipment: After launching its first Snowboards in 1987, the Rossignol Group acquired Lange in 1989 and then launched the first Rossignol ski boots. In 1994, the Group acquired Look to produce its bindings.

In 1989, Rossignol acquired the boot brand Lange and started making their own Rossignol ski boots. Rossignol's ski equipment can be found all over the world and is well loved by many skiers.

The low volume (LV) Shadow should not ski as strongly as it does for the level of comfort and convenience if offers. The ease on and off of this boot is extremely good and the seamless liner feel is top of class.

After consulting the manufacturer's size chart, it is critical to check that the binding fits your boots. Do this by placing your boot in your binding as if you were to strap in; the boots shouldn't hang excessively off the bindings, nor should the straps be painfully tightened or have excess slack.

A Strap In binding will fit any snowboard boot, although manufacturer's boots generally fit their bindings the best.

The most popular ski binding types are all designed to be adjusted on the slopes as needed, so you don't need any additional equipment besides a screwdriver (usually a crosshead). However, the most important point to note is that your ski boots and ski bindings must be compatible with one another.

No. By switching to GripWalk soles it is compulsory to use a GripWalk compatible binding.
