So I've got a new pair of skis and bindings that are an integrated system.
Essentially, the bindings slide over the brackets and get attached with screws to the bracket. The screws (come with bindings) go into pre-set holes - no drilling required. Then, set the tension of the springs according to the weight/age/skier type, do a binding check - also a standard procedure.
The whole task should take no more than 10 minutes.
Charge: 50 effing bucks at the Ski Market - Boston, Commonwealth ave!
I think that's a rip off. It's a simple, quick procedure. I was actually thinking about doing myself, but really was not sure about the proper boot placement and I really wanted to ski this Saturday, so I agreed.
So, of course, I'm willing to pay for a trained tech's time, but at the rate of $50 per 10 minutes work, that really gets me.
No, the ski/ binding was not bought in the store, so sure, I expect to pay, but still...
So, I'm wondering, is that a going rate in other places for attaching a binding or did I get ripped off?
