How much does it cost to have bindings mounted?

[nycskier]

If you buy the skis online and the bindings in the store they will usually mount them for you for free.

So unless you get a really amazing deal on the bindings (or they come with the skis) you might want to get them at a store.

Sometimes equipment on Ebay looks like a really great deal. You'll bring your Ebay purchased equipment to a shop to install the bindings for you and you might find what you bought is not compatible.

If the bindings are no longer on the indemnified lists (they are too old - even though they look new) - a shop won't touch them.

It depends a lot if a shop is certified to work on those skis, snowboards, bindings.. If it isn't a ski or snowboard they carry regularly in their store - that can be a huge liability issue for them.

I REALLY don't want any of you to have an accident on the slopes this winter - for those who are installing your own bindings on your skis or snowboards - please don't complain at the ski areas or at the hospitals when you break your leg.

Leave it to the experts.

By "experts", do you mean the pimply, stoned, spaced out young kid behind the counter in a typical ski shop?

Yeah, that's safe...

Get a drill and have some fun.

Anyone who really cares about their equipment knows the best shops to go to.
