If i buy my skis today,,,

[nick_v]

if i buy my skis this afternoon how long do you think it would take for the shop to mount my bindings and shit and have them ready to ski???

thanks

 

[yeahitsdave]

if paid properly, ill do a mount and adjust within 20 minutes (it only takes like 5, but i like to be thorough). bring beer, that always speeds me up.

 

[nick_v]

so you think they could have them ready to go by 11am tom.? my mountain opens tom. and they just told everyone yesterday. i gotta get my shit together haha

Shops where I am, generally get you to pick your skis up a week after you buy them. It doesn't take a week to mount skis. It just depends on how backed up they are. How many skis they're selling, and how many tunes they're doing. If you tell them you need them by tomorrow morning, they should be able to do it. Or just tell them to do it while you're there, you'll wait... just make them do it, you're buying skis off them. If everyone else is already waiting a week, they should be able to get yours done right away

It is going to take alot more then beer to jump the line at my shop, the techs are increadebly backed up.

i wouldnt ski brand new skis on the first day anyways just because everything isnt covered yet

i would ride an old pair the first day just in case

What shop are you taking them to? If it's Willi's, good luck. There's a lot of stuff in line to be done before you. The turn-around time for a pair of skis is usually 1-2 weeks at this time. Bribes always help.

^ nice icons

Yeah, my shop is backed up until like three weeks out.

 

[yeahitsdave]

i wish we were that backed up, we're turning everything around in two days. business is just too slow. 4 techs there almost full time does speed things up a bit tho.

you gotta ask the people your getting it mounted from that question. I would guess if there busy they can hold them for a few days, if not it can be done in 25 min

i brought 2 pairs of skis to be mounted with fks which take a lot longer and i left them at my shop, went to the store for 30 mins, came back, and they were done no charge

 

[boxskier]

They should do it while you wait...

 

[summersover]

yeah i got my ar6s mounted in like 10-15 mins while i waited and i had got a free mounting job when i bought them...not bad

 

[Style+eeze]

baaaaalin

 

[zackblain]

Iv always had my skis mounted right when I bought em from the shop even if they're backed up. Just tell them you wanna ski em tomorrow or your going on a ski trip or something, if that doesn't work tell em you won't buy the skis.

hope your ready to wait then.
