I'm not sure what to think of inserts on skis... Nice looking skis though. |

Donek prices have really gone up across the board. Are they still
worth it? |

But seeing as those prices are very close to stock alpine board prices from F2 (575) and Volkl (600), I'd say they're worth it. The Incline/Wide/Sasquatch is still a hell of a bargain at $400. Neil |

About 60% of the telemark bindings fit the same pattern these days. As
telemark skiers tend to mount in a variety of locations (cord center, boot center, and anywhere in between) an inserted ski allows them to experimant without drilling additional holes in the ski. Every time you mount a pair of bindings to a conventional ski you damage it. With inserts you eliminate the damage, enable binding position experimentation and the use of the same bindings on multiple pairs of skis. The ski industry doesn't want to see this because it will kill their binding sales, but the customer should be demanding it. So far Line is the only company making a binding intended to fit on an inserted ski. Our alpine skis will come with this hole pattern as well as a conventional mounting plate allowing the old drill and sheet metal screw approach. Hopefully this clears up the reasoning behind inserts in skis. -- Sean Martin Donek Snowboards Inc. http://www.donek.com/ phone:877-53-DONEK "og" wrote in message oups.com... http://www.donek.com/01_products/skis.htm I'm not sure what to think of inserts on skis...
