2 boots, 1 ski
Is this a thing? Or are boot and ski like penguins, mated for life?

As long as the binding and boot are compatible and adjusted correctly, you can change your boot/ski every day if you'd wish to do so
Thanks
So it depends mostly on boot sole length and how much adjustability the binding has. Most bindings from the center of its adjustability range can be adjusted +/- 1 boot size. Warden & sth2’s have about 30mm total range. Marker griffons are about 20mm if I remember correctly. Pivots are 20mm officially but lots of people doubt that it is more than 16mm.
If you have 2 boots within the adjustable range of the binding you can have the binding mounted to work with both boots. The effective mounting point of the boots will be a little different but not a crazy difference. My old boots have a 326 bsl. My new boots are 318. I had a pair of skis mounted while making the switch and intentionally had them mounted for my old boots to be on the recommended line and the new boots would be about 1/2 cm in front of the line. I did this knowing that if I hated the new boots and went back to the old boots I would not want them to be mounted behind the line.
Thank you for the informative reply. When I get my second pair of boots I'll be sure to take my two boots and full quiver into the shop.
