So I'm thinking of sizing down one full size in ski boots this year. Will I need to remount my skis or it should be okay? I have fks bindings with full tilt boots

Thanks for your help!

Boot sole length is not directed related to boot size.... so it will depend on the BSL of your new boots.

Chances are you will be able to adjust the binding without having to remount.

Just looked up the difference of the BSL difference and it would be going from 310 to 301.. Don't know if that's too much

Much like Hugh said, it depends on the BSL of the new boot. FKS bindings have very limited adjustability, so unless your new boots are very close to your old boots you'll have to remount.

Looks like you will definitely need a remount.

Talk to your tech but odds are you'll want to re-mount.

Good news is you're going to get way more performance with better fitting boots. This is a good problem to have.
