How do you attach rottefella nnn bc auto ski bindings?
The bindings come with installation instructions, but if you got used bindings that didn't come with instructions... Quick question: are you putting these on new skis, or on skis that already have bindings on them? If they're old skis, remove the bindings already installed and use the old screw holes for the new bindings. If they're new skis, take them to a ski tech. You've got to drill holes in your skis and there are lots of calculations involved - how much you weigh, the skis being used and the way you ski determine where your boots should be on the ski.
How does moving bindings on snow skis affect the skis performance?
because of where your ski boots are located, it might take a lot of getting use to. So that might affect your skiing ability.
Is it possible to remount skis?
Absolutely! It's really easy (unless your skis are ANCIENT) It's not easy to do by yourself if you have no experience, but if you take them to a ski shop, the people there will happily help you Also, make sure you ask them to fill in the old screw holes from your old bindings. If not, snow/water can get in there and make your skis swell.
What type of skis should you get?
Oh, that's a great question! First you have to tell me if you're asking about cross-country skis or downhill skis, but I'll just write short on both. Downhill: I recommend Atomic. There are very many different brands, but I'd recommend Atomic. Though, on amateur basis it doesn't matter so much. There aren't really so big differences, so nordica and fischer also work well. Cross-country: There are basically two great companies offering cross-country skis, Madshus and Fischer. Of course there are more than 2 companies, but these are the biggest and most famous ones. My personal opinion is that Fischer is better for skating skis, and Madshus is better for classic skis, but on an amateur basis that doesn't matter so much. Both of these work well, but you shouldn't pick any other than Madshus and Fischer. I hope this was helpful, and I really hope you didn't mean the models, cuse that would take ages to write :)
What kind of skiing can you do?
There are two basic types of skiing - downhill, and cross country, also known as Nordic skiing. Downhill skiing relies on gravity. The skier starts from a high point and skis to a lower point. It is very difficult to progress on a flat surface or, even worth, go up hill. Skiers can achieve very high speeds, as fast as 70 KPH and more. Downhill skis are wide, the boots are very stiff and hold the leg motionless, and the bindings bind the boots to the skis rigidly. In order to go downhill, one needs to get to a high point, which means that the skier needs to take a ski lift (usually) or a helicopter (if you are very rich). Cross country skiing relies on the skier's muscle power. Most cross country skiing is done on fairly flat surfaces, with a few mild ups and downs. The skies are usually narrow, the boots flexible and the binding allows the skier to lift his heal up from the ski. Cross country ski is a quieter sport, and one of its big advantages is that it can be done anywhere there is snow, including secluded nature spots.

What is the difference between twin tip skis and regular skis?
if by regular skis you mean downhill skis, then longjump skis are similar, but they are nearly twice as long and twice as wide-- the greater surface area makes the ski jumper accelerate faster, thereby allowing him to travel farther off of the jump
Where could one go to learn how to cross country ski?

What are the essential gear items needed for ski and splitboard touring, and how do I choose the right equipment?
When it comes to ski and splitboard touring having the right gear is essential for a successful and enjoyable experience. Here are some essential gear items you'll need and some tips on how to choose the right equipment: Skis or splitboard: You will need either skis or a splitboard, depending on your preference. Skis are typically lighter and faster, while splitboards are easier to hike with and offer a more snowboard-like ride. Choose skis or splitboards that are appropriate for the terrain and conditions you plan to encounter. Bindings: There are several types of bindings, including alpine touring (AT) bindings, tech bindings, and splitboard bindings. AT bindings are designed for skis and provide a wide range of motion for uphill travel and a secure lock for downhill skiing. Tech bindings are lightweight and allow for maximum mobility but are not recommended for aggressive skiing. Splitboard bindings are specifically designed for splitboards and allow for easy transitions between uphill and downhill modes. Boots: Your boots should be comfortable, warm, and provide good support. AT boots have a walk mode that allows for easier hiking, while downhill boots are stiffer and more supportive. Skins: Skins are adhesive strips that attach to the bottom of your skis or splitboard, providing traction for uphill travel. Choose skins that are appropriate for your skis or splitboard and are sized to fit. Avalanche safety gear: This includes an avalanche beacon, probe, and shovel. These tools are essential for backcountry travel and can help you locate and rescue someone in the event of an avalanche. Make sure to take an avalanche safety course to learn how to use this equipment properly. Clothing: Dress in layers and choose clothing that is appropriate for the conditions. You'll want to have a waterproof and breathable shell, insulating layers, and a warm hat and gloves. Backpack: You'll need a backpack to carry all of your gear, including your avalanche safety gear, extra layers, food, and water. Look for a backpack with a comfortable fit and enough space to carry everything you need. When choosing gear, consider your skill level, the terrain you plan to encounter, and the conditions you'll be skiing or splitboarding in. It's important to choose gear that is appropriate for your abilities and the terrain, as well as gear that fits well and is comfortable to wear for long periods of time. If you're new to ski or splitboard touring, consider renting gear or taking a guided tour to get a better idea of what you'll need before investing in your own equipment.
