New Bindings for Old Skis

Most bindings have some degree of adjustability. I know my old marker jesters and griffons could accommodate a full shell size up. Don’t imagine you’d keep these long enough for your feet to get two sizes bigger, but if you did then you can always remount a toe or heel to accommodate.

Pivots are an exception to this - they don’t sit on a track and you’d probably have to remount if you got new boots.

All this said, most bindings are going to treat you better than adjustable demo bindings. Lower to the ski, more durable etc.

People like to recommend Attack 13s a lot as a budget but quality binding. Maybe someone could chime in on how much room for adjustment they tend to have?

I believe the figure is 32mm. If you mount them in the middle you can go up or down a shell size. If your tech or whoever is doing the mount is good you should be able to mount them for the next larger shell and then adjust them down to give room for two larger shell sizes. I'm not explaining this very well so feel free to ask questions.

What are a couple of good models to check out for a mostly park ski

Look Pivots
Tyrolia attack (sold under various other brands)
Salomon sth

Those are your top three

People are going to hate this, but if you're new to park skiing and don't weigh much, check out the Look NX12 also known as the Rossignol Axium 120 or the Look SPX12, also known as the Rossignol Axial 120. Both have I believe somewhere in the range of 45mm of adjustability (not 100% certain). When you get better and have your boots dialed in, then I'd recommend getting a binding with a little more durability like the pivot, though honestly the SPX is pretty solid, especially in its high din variants.

Edit: Didn't look at the dates first lol

Op I'm gonna go on a limb and say the boots probably don't fit you perfectly but they fit well enough to make it work. Hell you might even think they're fine but they might not be. Do something first. (see link for shell test) Take the liner out and put your foot in it. See how much space is between your heel and the shell. If it's too big, you could use this information to your advantage to tell the tech to mount it so that you have the ability to go down as far as possible when you do buy better fitting boots. Hopefully whatever pair will work and you won't have to remount.

Just a thought. I could saved myself a few remounts if I did this.
