Smallest boots with BD O3s? First timer...

[telemarketer]

I just hit the consignment shop for a setup for my girlfriend's first tele setup.

Got her some Crispi Apx 3 buckle boots sz 25.0 and BDO3 bindings. The ends of the spring cartridges are sitting IN FRONT of the pivot point of the boot. I believe this may be an issue but then again they may work just fine.

Anybody ever ski these bindings in a size 25? Not too sure if the is a smaller size on the market...

I want to do her gear up right so she likes tele and sticks with it. She's only alpined twice in her life years ago so she will be a total newbie on skis. She is athletic and aggressive and coordinated at everything else she tries so I think she'll pick it up quick! Anybody recommend lessons? I have the Copper Winterpark Steamboat pass...

I once used those. My recollection, foggy for sure, is that they come in two sizes, std and short. You may have the standard and need the short, which can be swapped out. You should try contacting Black Diamond directly; maybe they have the short cables.
