    Anybody know someone who does work on mounting/setting ski bindings?

    My ski bindings are now officially 2 years older then the "approved" list that shops can officially touch. Seems like a bit of a scam to me to get you to keep buying new equipment every few years.

    I need to move my front binding to match up with new boots and could probably just do it myself if I could ever figure out how to get the &$%&'ing cover off it to get at the screws. :evil:

    Hi Ron, I was a ski tech through university. Shoot me a PM with some details and I can help (of if you are in Burlington at some point I could do it for you).

    I used OW Sports in Waterloo for my xc skis two years ago. Did a good job as far as I can tell.
