hey alll,
picked up a brand new pair of 2016 squires for peanuts. was wondering if could mount them on my skis judging from my weight?
i ski in AUS. Rip groomers and do little jibs and kickers off grommers. not a big park guy, honestly maybe hit a couple boxes or two during the day.
thanks fam

Probably worth upgrading to Griffons man, or Tyrolia Attack 13's if you're on a budget

I'd recommend a stronger binding and a diet

Ski bindings are still cheaper than a gym membership

Eating less food is cheaper!

Running is free!

Enough with the weight hate... regardless if you're 240 lbs or if you were 150lbs, these bindings are cheaply made and everyone i know who has had them has had a hard time with them. I know you said you don't do much park which means you can maybe get away with squires but if you were to get more into park you may have problems. What i would do is sell them to someone while they're still new (and not broken) and look to upgrade to Marker Griffons or something similar.

Hope this helps!

ive heard too many bad stories of squires breaking under scrawny park rat kids. id say get some tyrolia attack 13s, still cheap and light and a way better binding
