Although both SNS & NNN binding systems rely on the same basic idea (single metal rod/pin in toe of boot that attaches boot to binding & thus ski), they vary slightly in pin width and pattern of soles. Unfortunately, these difference make it virtually impossible to use a boot designed for SNS with an NNN binding. In this case, look for any binding that is labeled as NNN BC (Backcountry stocks many).
