Can you reuse holes for ski bindings like use the holes that were already there with new screws and bindings?

You can but not recommended.

Like when putting a screw in wood, if you take it out and insert a new screw the fit is not going to be snug and therefore increasing the risk of failure.

You also have to be careful about water penetration. When fitting bindings you must put glue in the holes to stop any water getting in freezing and expanding. This is a vicious circle because the bigger the hole the more water gets in freezes, expands and makes an even bigger hole. Again causing the screw to fail.

The better option is to take your ski's to a professional who will remove the bindings fill in the existing holes with plastic pegs (they exist in many colours to match the graphics of your skis) and re-drill the holes using the correct jig that matches the binding screw pattern. If need be they will also be able to fit a special plug designed to be used when binding screws fail.

Difference between men's and women's alpine skis?

Asked by Wiki User

Women's skis have the waist and binding farther forward compared to men's skis to compensate for women's lower centers of gravity and added weight in the rear. Because of lower weights and lower centers of gravity, women's skis also tend to be more flexible for proper turning. Women's skis are also more dramatically curvy than men's skis to make the ski turn better.

On straight skis, man or woman, the rule is, "as tall as you or slightly shorter if you're a beginner, a foot taller if you're advanced or just really good." Longer skis can be dangerous, so you need to know what you're doing.

On modern shaped or parabolic skis, beginner skis are around chin-height while advanced skiers may have skis up to their forehead or as tall as the skier.

Shorter skis are good for beginners as they give more control and better turning. Longer skis get more speed.
