The rails on that ski are built in, if I'm remembering right. They're an integral part of the ski.
I would have to see the ski close up, I didn't think that they were integrated into the ski. Maybe the OP could post a close up picture of the rails were the binding attaches.

That was before I found out that the rail is incorporated into the top sheet of the ski. If it was just screwed into the ski than yes. If you can't get a new binding mounted for $200 you need to be a better shopper and it is going to be relocated so not a waste, at worst the mounting fee which is the cheapest part of the purchase. If when the OP buys the ski purchased the ski from the same shop that the binding was purchased it might be a negotiation for the price of the ski or the mount.so basically what you are recommending is taking a 12 year old ski, removing the rails and then mounting new bindings. Once you factor in labor (unless OP can do it themselves) you could be looking at $250-$300 at which point OP may be better off just buying a new or lightly used pair of skis on sale somewhere.
As and FYI here are the 2021 Rossignol Experience 88 Ti Womens Skis w/ NX 12 Konect GW Bindings on sale for $594.99 CDN which is 473.27. This was one of the skis the OP had on there list so may be a better choice than trying to spend money to fix an old ski.

^^ This. Up to 78mm waist, no wider, for building skills on eastern snow, which tends to suffer from thaw-freeze cycles and hardens up as a result... not to mention the prevalence of man-made snow.
Typically if you are just buying bindings from a shop they will charge you a mounting fee all be it a reduced one. You still have the issue of removing the rail, plugging the holes and then drilling new holes to mount the binding. So while yes from a cost perspective depending on the binding you choose you could keep the overall cost with mounting fee to and tax to around $200, it still begs the question of is it even worth it for a 5-10 year old ski when you can buy new skis with bindings for $400 and lightly used skis for $200-$300. The other question is what impact if any will drilling all those extra holes have in an older ski and how much life is actually left in that ski anyhow.
My wife loves here Kenjas
@dovski there is no drilling if she finds an old pair cheap. They just slide in. System binding. It might be economical or it might not. She said she was on a tight budget. Brainstorming on solutions. That's all
completely agree if you can find an old pair cheap that is an easy fix, but at one point it had been suggested they remove the rails and flat mount a new binding. My point was that if you were going to do that you may want consider a new or slightly used ski as that would be an expensive fix for an older ski.
Fully aware, have bought from both. Corbett's is about 30mins from home almost in stones throw distance from the Ford plant.so ASOGEAR is Corbetts.com Ebay store.

Oh and FYI Corbetts is a truly legit brick and mortar ski shop as well as the number one reseller of ski gear on Ebay and Amazon. My point being is they are a good operator and if you call them you get a real person who knows skis to help you. If you ask nicely they may even mount your bindings for free
