old bindings?
My skis and bindings are about 15 years old. I haven't skiied in about
4 years. I took my skiis and boots in today to be tuned and was immediately told that the tech wouldn't touch my bindings because he can tell by looking at them they are ready to fall apart. They are Salomons and I skiied perhaps a half dozen times a year for about 11 years straight. I am an intermediate skier, a lady of 66 years of age. Is he giving me a line in order to sell me new bindings or is this the norm? How can he possibly tell what condition they're in just by looking at them or is the particular make/model prone to a short life? |

Thanks for the responses. . .makes good sense to me. O.K., new
bindings. New boots? Oh boy, and they call horse racing the sport of kings. Well, it's good that it's been above freezing here in CT with no snow in sight or else I'd be pretty antsy. P.S. It may be time for new boots, too. If so, buy boots before skis. |

If this is true, you are in for a pleasnat surprise if you get new skis. A lesson or two on how to take full advantage of them would be worth while also. The new skis are shorter, and turn quickly when edged. Your old bindings are probably fine if you are going to continue with your old skis, but as others said, you won't find shops wanting to check them out. And if your boots are old, they may want nothing to do with those also. Bob |
