Your own skis are required as fitting the bindings involves drilling and screwing. No one likes having too many holes in their skis.

There are differing types of binding systems. You need to match boots to the bindings. Apline bindings differ from XC bindings.

I'm not familiar with the Grivel's. I do know that "some" crampons can be fitted to my Scarpa Denali TT's.
