Thinking of changing your tele rig, but not your skis? Will the old binding holes be in conflict with the new one? Find out here so you know whether you have to get creative with the mount position, or buy new skis.
What follows below is an attempt to provide comparisons of all the relevant mounting patterns for telemark bindings. If one is missing, just comment below and I’ll address it.
All the tele holes. Don’t forget – measure twice, drill once.
It is most likely that you’re migrating from a 75mm binding to NTN, or one of the new hybrid 2-pin tele norms. Go to the page of the brand you’re migrating to. Each manufacturer has their own page of mounting template comparisons in a table with links to downloadable PDF files of each model alone and compared to other brands/models to help anticipate if there might be a conflict when replacing one with the other.
The PDF files provided require having Adobe Acrobat loaded on your computer to print them out. When you print the file be sure that there is no adjustment to the scaling of the printed file (as determined in the Acrobat Print window).
Measure these lines to confirm the printed page is scaled accurately.
To confirm that the printed file is accurate, scales in inches and millimeters are included. Compare those against a known accurate ruler. If the printed scale shown measures accurately, you can be confident the registration of the rest of the template is good too.

Warning – Attencion
These templates may be used as paper jigs with reasonable results, but since this is the internet and I can’t control whether you print them accurately, I cannot and will not be held responsible for any trouble you experience from using them. OTOH, I did my best to make them as accurate as I could with the tools used (Adobe Illustrator). Most will be satisfied. Use at your own risk.
These templates work best by lining up the center line of the template, with a longitudinal center line marked on your skis. Use masking tape. Measure twice, even thrice; mark it, then use it.
