Ordering skis with bindings

If you order skis together with ski bindings, you benefit from an extra competitive set price. First choose the ski you want and then click the:
We will then display 3 recommended bindings based on the ski you have chosen. You can of course choose a different binding in the Alpine, Tour or Tech/Pin categories.Free binding mounting
If you buy skis with ski bindings, installation is free of charge. In order to mount the bindings on the skis, all we need is your ski boot size in millimetres. The plastic on the side of the heel of your ski boot shows the millimetre size. You can pass this millimetre size on to us via the Comments field above the order button at checkout.
If you don't have the boot size at hand, you can still order. We'll send you an e-mail asking for your boot size. You can answer this question at your convenience.Another option is to pass on the Mondopoint size of your ski boot. In that case we'll always need to know the brand and model of the ski boot. Then we can look up the millimetre size. You can leave this information in the comments field or you can e-mail it to us with your order number.
Special mounting instructions
We mount all our skis as standard at the recommended mounting point. If you want to deviate from this, please indicate this in the comments field. If you would like further advice regarding ski mounting, please contact our customer service.Adjustment and DIN
Caution! If you buy a ski from us and we mount the bindings, it will be mounted on the sole length of your boot (we only assemble based on the information you have provided). The ski is not adjusted to individual needs and ski boot as we do not have your ski boot to allow fine tuning. Visual inspection of the boot is also not possible. This means that the ski is not ready to use. We recommend that the binding be adjusted in a local ski shop. Of course you can also do the fine tuning yourself. We are not responsible for the correct adjustment of your bindings.
If you need more information, you can always contact our customer service department.
Ski bindings and the United States and Canada
If you order skis and bindings from the U.S. or Canada, we will not be able to mount the bindings for you due to liability. Of course you can still order these products, they will just be delivered unmounted.
