getting out my skis for the year(it’s almost time babyyy) I remembered my binding got a lil messed up

I was sking sw in some slush and my binding broke. The whole part where you click in was sideways so I just pushed it back into place and kept skiing. Yeah I know that the piece is missing and that I can still ski it but this ski just didn’t feel right when skiing on it. Anything I can do to fix it? Do I need new ones?

This can be fixed if you know what you're doing. You could still ride it but keep in mind it may not function as intended. That's quite a cheap binding anyways so if you're riding a bit more aggressively, something other than a demo binding would be a good idea. Check out options like a Griffon 13, STH 13, Strive 11 or even an SPX12.

I ride a set of pivots that are missing half of a toe-wing, and she still goes; but I probably wouldn't recommend putting another season on them.

Try going to a shop and have a rummage thru their spare/broken parts bin, at my shop we always have a few toes hanging about.

Looks like it’s on a rental track, do some research and see if you can find a replacement toe piece for that specific binding. Make sure to get the rental version. Should be super easy to replace if you can find the right one
