Replacement bindings for Snow Blades
I have a pair of 1997 lightly used Salomon Snow Blades that have
broken bindings (yes, both sides - one side drastic, the other has a small crack starting where the bale hooks on). The skis themselves are in near perfect condition. Well, it turns out Salomon does not sell replacement bindings. Apparently, I'm the only one who has ever broken one, so no need to stock spare parts. I checked to see if I could get a pair from other "ski board" companies like K-2 or Atomic and struck out there too. Does anybody know where I can get a pair of new bindings for my blades? I know that regular step-in release bindings can not be used due to their extra length and the resulting detremental effect on the flex of the ski. I would be most thankful if anybody can point me to a source of new bindings so I would not have to throw away a perfectly good pair of skis. I am willing to plug and re-drill if the screw pattern is different. |

I don't get it. Why would you have to throw out your perfectly good skis just because your Snow Blades are broken? Why not just ski on your perfectly good skis and throw out the Snow Blades instead? -- //-Walt // // There is no Volkl Conspiracy |

Get rid of those abominations! BoftheW |

Overheard from a motorcycle shop owner talking about mopeds. But actually that's pretty applicable to short skis. I have a pair of 180 twintips and they are a blast in pretty much all conditions. I used to ski bumps on GS skis and wouldn't be caught on anything shorter than 210, so I don't have to fake it. At the end of the day though, I have way much more fun on the shorter skis. So I don't really care what my friends say. They can argue the virtues of long skis all they want during the ride up, because I'll smoke them in the bumps. bruno. |
