Hey guys,
I've been wondering this question for a while and have found some conflicting advice when I googled it, so I figure you guys would be a better resource to answer the question.
For those of you who ski with families and often fly to ski areas, you know the frustration of trying to cram a bunch of skis in 1 ski bag to avoid the extra cost of bringing a second bag. It seems to me that it would be no problem fitting as many skis as I wanted in just one bag if I take the bindings off.
Would it compromise the strength of the binding's attachment to the ski once it was reinstalled, or is this something that can be done without an issue? (I'm thinking the answer is going to be "yes" otherwise everyone would be doing it, but I just want to know if I'm wrong). I bought some binding inserts called Binding Freedoms today (pretty much just tapped set screws that go into the ski so that bindings can be reinstalled hundreds of times with no issue) so that I can do this in the future.
Would it be ok to take the binding off even once? I got a pair of secondhand race skis last year that still perform very well, but the graphic is kind of dated, and I want to put on a custom vinyl that I found online here http://www.epicboardskins.com/index.php?p=1_2_0_52
It would be way easier to do without the bindings, so I want to know if it's ok to take them off even once, or if I should just work around the binding.
Thanks for any suggestions! Hope you guys get to enjoy some of the snow coming to the northeast this week!
