Curious what you ladies pay for a binding mount near you?
The shop closest to me wants $89.95 because neither the skis nor the bindings were bought from them.
Does that seem a little steep to anyone else??? Or is that a fair price? The last time I had bindings mounted it was more like $40, but those were system bindings.
There is one other shop in my area, though its a bit of a hike, that usually charges less, but the kids in the shop there…all seem to be those burnt-out snowboarders types. I'm worried about them screwing up the mounting job, yet $90 seems a bit stiff….
Would an on-mountain shop be better??? Or worse???
Edited to add.. I just called the other shop (the one that worries me a bit). They charge $49.95 for the mount. Why such a big difference??? I did take my first skis there to have the system bindings mounted because again, the other shop wanted a ridiculous amount of money for the mount. They did a decent enough job with those. By my new babies… with the full bamboo core.. I don't know, I feel more protective of them.
How complicated is mounting a pair of bindings anyway???
