FAQs
What DIN setting do I need?
Your DIN setting determines how easily your ski bindings release in a fall and is crucial for safety. It’s based on your height, weight, age, skiing ability, and boot sole length. The higher the DIN, the more force is needed to release the boot. If you're an aggressive or advanced skier, you'll typically need a higher DIN. For beginners, a lower setting reduces the risk of injury. Contact our team for personalised advice.
Are Look Pivot bindings compatible with all ski boots?
Look Pivot bindings, including the popular Look Pivot 12, 14, and 15 GW models, are compatible with most adult alpine ski boots. This includes both ISO 5355 (Alpine soles) and ISO 23223 (GripWalk soles). Always double-check your boots for these certifications or contact our team if you’re unsure.
Can I install the bindings myself?
Installing ski bindings isn’t a DIY job as your safety depends on proper mounting and DIN calibration. Bindings need to be drilled into the skis and adjusted precisely for your specs.
We recommend getting your bindings mounted and tested by a qualified ski technician. If you're in NSW, pop into our store or consult our customer service for help finding a certified fitter near you.
How do I adjust ski bindings?
Adjustment involves setting the correct DIN on the toe and heel pieces, aligning your boot correctly, and adjusting the forward pressure. Improper settings can lead to injury or equipment damage. If you’re confident and experienced, minor tweaks can be made using a screwdriver, but always have bindings tested by a professional. Still unsure? Get in touch with us or visit our store for help.
How do I fit boots to ski bindings?
To properly fit ski boots to bindings, make sure the boot sole length matches the binding’s adjustment range. Step into the binding to test the fit. Your boot should snap in securely, and release only under the correct amount of pressure. All bindings available at Alpine Beach, including SPX and Pivot, can be adjusted to suit a range of boot sizes. We recommend a pro fit for best results.
How do bindings attach to skis?
Bindings are mounted by drilling into the skis at specific points that align with the skier’s boot sole length and stance. Once mounted, bindings are adjusted for DIN, toe height, and forward pressure. This process must be done carefully to ensure safety and ski performance. If you're buying a ski and binding combo from Alpine Beach, ask us about mounting options.
Can you change bindings on skis?
Yes, bindings can be replaced or upgraded, but the new binding must match the ski’s mounting pattern and the hole layout must be safe to reuse. Over-drilling can weaken the ski. If you're considering a binding upgrade, our team can help you choose the right model that fits your skis and needs.
Do ski bindings really matter?
Absolutely. Your bindings are a critical piece of gear, connecting you to your skis and protecting you in falls. Good bindings offer reliable safe release, strong power transfer, and comfort throughout your ride. Whether you're skiing groomers, freeride, or park, we’ve got performance options like Look Pivot and SPX bindings suited to your style.
How do I remove ski bindings?
Removing ski bindings requires unscrewing the mounting screws from your skis. This should only be done if you're replacing bindings or retiring a ski, and always check the screw holes after removal. Improper removal can damage your skis. If you're unsure, we can help guide you or suggest a technician.
What is brake width on ski bindings?
Brake width is the distance between the arms of the brake when it's in the open position. Choose a brake that’s slightly wider than your ski waist width. For example, if your skis are 95mm underfoot, a binding with a 95–100mm brake width is ideal. Alpine Beach stocks bindings in a variety of brake widths. Check the B number (e.g. B95 or B100) on ourbinding products to match your ski.
