Brake width on your bindings should be at least as wide as your ski waist but not excessively wider. If the brake option is wider — A good rule is to choose a brake that’s no more than 10 mm wider than your ski’s waist width. For example, if your skis are 95 mm underfoot, a 100 mm brake is ideal.

Yes, bindings can often be remounted, but it depends on their age, condition, and type. Some bindings are specific to a certain pair of skis with an integrated system and cannot be remounted. Bindings more than 10 years old are often considered non-indemnified, meaning shops can’t legally mount or adjust them.

Best practice is to have your bindings tested once per year by a certified ski shop. Annual testing ensures they release and retain correctly for your weight, age, boot, and skiing style.
