Urgent Ski Help

What’s up guys. My new skis are in the shop and I’m heading to the mountain with some friends tomorrow, so I’d rather not use rentals. I still have my skis from last year, but not the boots. I forget what size boot I used as well. How can I tell what size boot I was using given the skis, and the bindings haven’t been changed. Thanks!

I would like to add, I have a pair of 26.5 boots. I know the boots from last year are somewhere in the range of 24.5. Could I adjust the bindings to fit the larger boots?

Edited because autocorrect made me look foolish.

Can't tell WTF is going on here but it depends on the bindings.

OK I think I deciphered this madness confusion of a post. This really depends on the BSL, binding type, and if there's room to adjust the binding further. Take em to the shop at the mountain and see if they can adjust the bindings- throw them some cash. If that doesn't work and if you have boots, bring those and rent demo skis. Don't rent boots. I repeat. Don't rent boots.

Also how did you go up two sizes in a year? Growth spurt?
