Looks like you have system bindings then.

Those only can go on salomon skis with the "smartrack" binding rail system. They slide over a center ski rail (predrilled into the ski), and lock into place rather than drill into the ski itself.

You cannot drill those into any flat skis (so.. pretty much all twintips) - that is my understanding at least.. not sure if those rails will come off or anything, really..

i really dont know anything about salomon bindings, but it would seem to me that if there are BSL's marked on the track that they could be demo bindings... in which case, i would probably not use them.
