So I was wondering if there is any bindings out there that are adjustable bindings that AREN'T for DEMOS. I haven't been around long enough to know all the stuuf about bindings. This will be my 3rd season skiing (not counting my years skiing as a kid). Just picked up some 2011 Line Blends, so im looking into bindings now, thing is I will be getting new boots next season probably so I don't really want to have to remount them. Any suggestions? Also I ski probably 90% all mountain and 10% park but plan on going more like 70/30 this season, MAX din binding I need is 12.

To be more specific, most bindings adjust about 2cm (which is usually about 1 boot size), some bindings however (FKS) don't adjust much at all (about 1cm). If you tell the shop mounting them that you'll most likely be getting new, bigger boots they'll be able to mount them so the track is able to expand more so you can simply adjust them when you get new boots. As far as the bindings with the longer tracks, STHs and PXs have probably the longest tracks on the market.

Ok yeah that's what I was looking for. I was thinking about pivots or FKS, but I will probably go back to my original choice of Look PX12 jib. Thank you again!

Many people here in NS haven't been all that happy with their Schizos. There was a thread about this a while ago. So yeah, they're a bit janky.

Although I hear that they should be better this season.

imho you can only mount skis on 1 spot and thats in the sidecut center ...

if you want to ski park and powder, you should get 2 pairs of skis...

Yes I understand how they work. Did I say I wanted to move my mounting point? NO! So why don't you learn to fucking read instead of calling me a n00b like a dick. Go buy the Shizo if your on their nuts. On top of that I am not a fan of Marker AT ALL.

Thanks everyone else for being productive.

He never said he did want to move his mounting point either, he clearly stated he wants something adjustable in the terms of boots fitting inside it.  Flashkick answered his question well so this thread is done...
