My buddy want's to try his hand at skiing, we have some good condition, old X-screams(the yellow ones) we can give him, and some old axium 90s. Since the skis have been mounted thrice before, would it be fine for this season if we mount them again???

If he's just trying them out, I think they'll be ok. I wouldn't do any real serious stuff on them though.

No, we want to get him on some fairly stiff twins soon anyways, This however brings us to problem 2: He's a size 16 shoe :(






Edit: it was supposed to say "mounting" question

Unless you are mounting the binders yourself, sounds like a question to ask the ski shop tech guys...

why dont you just have him ski on his feet? geeezus. hahah. my PEs were mounted like 5 times... they kinda snapped. but other than that they were fine. And they were definately fine at the fourth mounting, they only ripped out because I tried to gap a big pile of rocks in the spring and welllll... oops. They should work especially if he isn't doin anythin to crazy yet. Serious though, his feet should do just fine.

Yeah right bro, can you imagine the amount of toe/heel drag he'd have on a board?

Lange sizing is all kinds of weird though, you have to get fitted, don't just buy your street shoe size, bad idea.
