ski market charges me $45 each time I get my skis drilled/mounted with bindings which adds up pretty quick. im just wondering how much does your shop charge you to drill+ mount? cause 45 seems like bullshit to me

you, my friend, are getting screwed over. plus it probably doesnt help that you buy a pair of skis each month.

I prefer free, myself... or, failing that, mounting in exchange for some beer. That'll usually do it.

I would think that with all the skis you have you would have learned how to do this yourself.

0 dolla's, its good stuff to be sponsored by a shop even if its only small stuff.

Just dip your dong in paint and smack your helmet with it.

green card or beer mount is what it is all about. get to know the guys in the shop, otherwise they will continue to screw you.

it depends on if i know them or not...if i do it'll usually be 12 bucks which is the price of a binding adjustment, or if i dont know them then it's 30 bucks

and up in yo bitch, is where ya might find me

free ipod shuffles rule!

 
If you buy the skis or bindings or both in our store its either $10-$20 depending on the person or sometimes we throw it in for free. If people bring in crap off the internet or from another store, we'll charge them $40.

 
That's fucking BULLSHIT!

Dude, it takes like 5 minutes to mount skis.

They're ripping you off. Go somewhere else.

I hate emo.

 
i would agree^. about ten does it for me

And get this, on the news the other day they did a big story about old people dropping dead from heat exhaustion. They urged my community to donate fans to keep them alive!! Tell you what, I'll donate my pubes to shove in their mouths, but I'll be damned if I donate anything electrical or useful. - random net person that i found on a site shown to me by apple

whoa!!!! ahaha that is the MOST expensive mounting EVER. I hope they are using platinum screws to put your bindings on, even then it would be a bit much.

they do it free for me

So I told him if you say that again im gonna stick this bowl of gucamole up your ass.

Long story short, that is the worst bowl of gucamole iv'e ever tasted
 
I dont really have a problem with him buyinag all those skis mikee. Its just our way of saying 'damn. I wish I had that kind of money to spend on skiing but I dont so I am going to rip on you for it'. Its immature. I know, but at least its not really mean hearted.

everything at teh shop I go to is 20 dolalrs, except binding adjustement for a knew pair of boots, thats free. Brake replacement, edge repair, all 20 dolalrs, so maybe something isn't worth 20 dolalrs, but when you get that cracked edge that needs repair, 20 dollars sounds mighty good...

if u buy the skis there they should mount for free and if they dont then demand they do it for free or take ur bunisess else where, and the most they should charge is like 15, no more than that

$20 canadian at sport chek here.

Which is still a ripoff seeing as it only takes like 15 minutes. Most of that is just double checking that you have it all lined up properly and aren't going to screw it up.

$45!!!!! on my god. all they do is put a jig on a ski and drill some fucking holes. that is super lame. buy them a 6 pack and have them do it. fucking pussies. that pisses me off. ski shops suck! make a work bench at home and do it all yourself. fuck those guys. they get everything at shop form too and they still try ripping the chillers off.

yeah- I've been mounting my own for years, first time is scary, but it's easy after that. Just get a drill and take your time-

 
yeah just mount it yourself.. and if you cant do it right, you suck and must go snowboard...

you need the hookups. Maybe you can show your pics and video to a cool store and work a deal with them, you will rock their sticker and they will hook up the mounts and tunes...

beer works too, but that's if they are down with you. And you'd probably have to have your mom buy the beer for you.

 
we charge 25 with a instore purchase, or 50 if you just bought youre shit off the internet. And it doesnt take 5 minutes, it can if you wanna just drill and slap the boot in. Any shop that does the full job will mount adjust and function test the binding. Every shop should be testing the bindings every time they adjust them or mount. Now do you guys see where the money goes too?? Majoity of you paying 15 bucks propably arent geting them tested, unless you know someone! But usually if youre cool to me at least ill give a break.

 
still a fucking rip off i can buy a lot more with 50 bucks. and this isnt canada i cant just walk into a store and hand them a 6 pack i'll probably get arretsed. america sucks sometimes

it's more like, you set up the deal with your bro you met who tunes, he'll tune them for you, but you bring beer out of respect, and it's an unwritten rule.

try bringing it in a paper bag

 
^what about imported rum and vodka? my parents dont drink beer that much
