a guy at a local shop told me it would be $70, to have them mounted in a week, because that would involve a rush fee. I told him it only takes 10 minutes to mount a pair of skis, and he respoded by saying that they had around 100 pairs of skis to mount before mine. (this was mid February) I just laughed, told him that I could see they only had 10-20 pairs of skis, and that it is rare for a shop to get 100 skis at once even during  the pre season. and walked away.
