I'd like get my conventional bindings changed for touring bindings, but I've
never changed bindings before.

Can the skis actually cope with it? will the fitting still be strong enough?

There is no reason in general why you can't do this. The new bindings
will almost certainly have a different hole pattern to the old, although
you can always put epoxy into the screw holes if you reuse any.

You would need to seal up the old holes with epoxy or something to stop
moisture getting into the core.

Whether your particular skis will cope, with the usage you've already
had, who can say? How many days have you already skied on them? Bear
in mind that if you are planning to do serious touring rather than just
climbing to out of bounds skiing not all alpine skis are well suited in
terms of weight and strength.


I've x-posted this to rec.skiing.backcountry/alpine as you are really in
the wrong n.g. for this type of question.
