OK, so suppose my OH gets a surprise from Santa this Christmas. He wants some Scott Mission skis, and I have found some , but they need bindings. Which bindings should I choose. I won't get them mounted though. He really likes the bindings on his Bandit XX which I think are Axial 110's. The website in question has some Axial 120's on sale at a reduced price.

Helen Beaumont, if he's getting rid of the Bandit XXs, he could always take the bindings off them and put them on the new skis

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Arno, I think he wants to keep them as 'rock skis' and anyway as they are 5 years old, perhaps he should have new bindings, I don't really know.

If he liked the axial 110s, reduced axial 120s sounds like a good option?

He is a very lucky man - he lives in the North East - the best part of GB by far.

Smokin Joe,
The NE is the best part of England (without question) whether it’s the best place in GB is open to debate.....
Helen Beaumont,
I have axial(2) 120’s attached to my skis and my only complaint is they are hard to release manually and sticking your ski pole onto the rear binding to release, chips bits off the plastic surrounding the DIN adjustment screw.

Helen Beaumont, They've changed the design slightly in that the new model no longer has the turntable heelpiece. However they've re-designed the toe piece so that the turntable is now longer required. They'll be great so go buy 'em.

That was my next question. They have a set of Axial 2 120 Ti Pro wide. Will they be the ones I need. They also sell extra wide ski brakes. I will email them tomorrow.

Those should do nicely. The extra wides are for parlor's 110mm+ barges.

Helen Beaumont, mind saying from where? I am thinking of buying from Ellis Brighams - and picking them up personally at Castleford.

achilles, www.telemark-pyrenees.com . Shh, I'm having them delivered to France for his Christmas present, but they will deliver to the UK. Did EB have any 178's they didn't when I asked a couple of weeks ago.? I've ordered the bindings, but he will get them fitted in Serre Chevalier.

Helen Beaumont, EB did not have 178s on their site yesterday - but did today. I'll check out the folk you linked to - but if the price difference is not too great, I'd rather pick them up from Castleford. A good excuse to ski there - and easy to take them back if there is a problem. Thanks for your help.

Am I the only one that thinks axials have the ugliest heal piece on the market? That said, I'm skiing Rossi Scratch 120s

yeaitsdave, I don't care about ugly. I don't care if ski graphics look like an old tarpaulin. I just want everything - skis and bindings - to work.

No problem, better hurry though, EB's site said limited or no stock when I tried to order them .

Given that EBs price is £380 ski only, you can get missions + look bindings delivered from Telemark Pyrenees for £425!!

Though I don't think I would have lost out hugely with EB (SCGB discount) I went for telemark-pyranees. I got a bit side-tracked today - and as Missions seem to be selling out, I jumped this evening. I asked for bindings to be mounted - and though a query about them would flag up when I ordered. Not so. So I have dropped a message to them asking how to sort out, and letting them know I will want Axial 2 120 Ti Pro wide bindings fitted.

achilles, dis you get the Axial bindings? I've just had them on the phone saying they'd sold out, and that they only had the rental version of the skis left. Not sure what to do now.

kitenski, the Axials were on sale, I have asked for the Looks instead, and they're not much more expensive, the skis they have left are a rental pair, exactly the same (apparently) but with a protective coating on the topsheet. Not sure what Achilles got, but he ordered after I did, so I was just wondering what he'd managed to get.

This year's Axials were sold out. Last year's (different cosmetics) unused were still available. I went for those. Skis ship today.
