Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Help with Bindings

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Just bought my first pair of skis last Black Friday. Have rented for 4 years.
Now I have to buy proper bindings.
I am an intermediate to advanced skier. 73 Kg and 179 cm. I spend most time on piste but also like to venture off piste and powder.
I got a Rossignol Sky 7 180, which is 98 cm underfoot.
Since it's the first time I buy bindings, I'd like some advice on what size of binding to buy and max DIN should be ok for me.

Do you think you will try touring at any point?

No. Just downhill skiing.

Pretty much any Alpine binding then. Use something like this to get an idea of your DIN range, then rely on the shop to set them, err on the low side and if you keep popping out you can always get them put up by 0.5. Your boot sole length decides the mounting points.

Regardless of DIN................ Look TT (Pivot).

Go to an experienced - competent shop and have the work done precisely. Sure hope your boots are right.

And what width should I buy for a ski with 98 mm underfoot?
I was searching online and was wondering if the width advertised (90 mm for example) is the width of just the binding or the brakes?

It’s the width of the brake. Look for 100.
