Your bindings are the vital link between you and your skis — the point where power, precision, and safety all come together. At Alpine Beach, we stock ski bindings from trusted brands like Look, built to deliver secure retention, smooth energy transfer and confidence on every run.
Whether you're carving through Thredbo's groomers or chasing powder lines in Japan, the right bindings keep your setup responsive, comfortable and safe.
Why the Right Bindings Matter
Bindings aren't just hardware — they're what keep you connected to your skis and protected when things don't go to plan. A well-chosen pair will:
- Enhance safety with reliable release mechanisms that respond when you need them to
- Improve control and feel, letting your skis flex naturally through turns
- Deliver energy efficiently, translating your movements directly into performance on snow
At Alpine Beach, we carry options for all-mountain, freeride, and performance skiing, so every skier can find the right fit.

What to Look For
When choosing bindings, consider:
-
DIN Range: Dictates how easily your boots release in a fall, based on your height, weight, skill and aggressiveness.
-
Brake Width: Should be slightly wider than your ski’s waist width for a perfect fit.
-
Elastic Travel: Absorbs shocks and helps prevent unwanted releases.
-
Build Quality: Look for metal reinforcement for durability.
-
Turntable Heel: Allows for natural ski flex and improved energy transmission.

We always recommend having bindings professionally mounted and tested for correct DIN calibration and forward pressure.
Ski Binding FAQs
Are Look Pivot bindings compatible with all ski boots?
Look Pivot bindings are compatible with most adult alpine ski boots, including both ISO 5355 (Alpine soles) and ISO 23223 (GripWalk soles). Check your boots for these certifications or contact our team if you’re unsure.
How do bindings attach to skis?
Bindings are mounted by drilling into the skis at specific points relevant to the skier's boot sole length and stance. Once mounted, bindings are adjusted for DIN, toe height, and forward pressure.
Can I install bindings myself?
Not recommended. Proper mounting and DIN calibration require precision tools and expertise. Always have them fitted by a qualified ski technician.
What DIN setting do I need?
Your DIN setting is determined by your weight, height, ability and boot sole length. Higher DINs hold more firmly — lower DINs release more easily. If you're unsure, our team can calculate it for you.
Can bindings be reused or replaced?
Yes, but only if the mounting pattern matches and the ski can handle new holes safely. Ask us before upgrading — we'll help you choose compatible replacements.
What does brake width mean?
Brake width is the distance between the binding's arms when open. It should match or slightly exceed your ski's waist width (e.g. 95 mm skis → 95–100 mm brake).
