Primarily, it will be the width of your skis. This should be marked on the skis, most likely either near the center, or sometimes at the tail of the skis. There will be a series of numbers in the form of 000/00/000. The number you need to focus on is the middle number. That will be the width, or waist measurement. From there you can select a binding with a brake that is wide enough for your ski. You shouldn't have a problem with your size 23.5 ski boots with any binding system.

Most bindings have about a size of travel each way. Remounting a ski (if done properly) will not compromise its integrity. In fact it’s not uncommon for World Cup racer skis to have three sets of holes in them, as they will play with the mounting position on their skis to make the more stable or hook up quicker. You should always take your bindings in to be serviced by a Technician that is certified to work on your binding brand. This will ensure that they are properly adjusted and that all your warranties stay intact. A torn ACL (or worse) will cost you a lot more than a $25 binding adjustment. Kevin Tim,

Or can that be adjusted without compromising the integrity of the ski with a remount of the same binding on the existing ski? Hi,

Surprise, it’s an Atomic binding! Specifically you need any Atomic Race model binding. Give this one a look: <a href="http://www.skis.com/race-ski-bindings/c435/atomic-race-614-ski-bindings-mens-2010-p164973.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.skis.com/race-ski-bindings/c435/atomic-race-614-ski-bindings-mens-2010-p164973.html</a> Kevin John,

The skis do seems really short for someone her size though. I would have put her on a 145 in a women’s ski at her weight, as Jr skis are designed for skier up to about 110lbs. She is going to struggle on these skis as there is not enough edge to support someone her size. Kevin Floyd,
