My stupid shop mounted my 04 scratch fs's like at the standard mount spot after i repeatedly told them about 3 different people that i want true center. Can i do anything about this, or should i just put up with the bunk ass extra holes in my skis?

well they definitally cant give you new skis if they had already been drilled 2 tiems before they fucked up. i think that free remount and 40 off the bindings you bought is a pretty decent deal for that situation

no, boyne country sports in novi michigan.

and yes, feel grateful you thread starter fucker. yours arent as bad as mine. i look for positives, like the fact the tips are very flexy, and the fact that i can still actually ski them. just deal with it stop being like "what im supposed to care". oh man you're so hard. i was just trying to show you that A: you can still have fun on them B: it could be worse

yeah, definite learning lesson. really pissed me off. i should have waited to talk directly to the tech. i did a lot of things wrong here in this situation. the skis are 04 rossi scratch fs which i bought this year for 260, from a different shop. he said if i would have bought from him he would have given me new skis. punk ass dude fuckin' up my skis. this shit just aint right. i feel stolen from.

yeah i didnt really care that much at the time. he said he could re mount and he misundertsood what the other tech said when he wrote "CM" or something on it instead of just "centermount", but the remount would leave holes and i was like i dont care i really need these as soon as possible because im going sking so i just took em. that season i became a ski tech at my local hill and vowed never to fuck up anyones shit like that guy did to me.

You should have either spoken to the tech or drawn your own line on the ski. I work in a hop and the softgoods staff who take in skis for mounts and tuning generally don't know shit about anything. If a shop fucks up your skis completely (drills right through or something), they have to replace them for you. A bad mount is generally something that they'll just put right for you (remount). There is a guy in my shop that fucks up about half of his mounts actually - a lot of customers get skis with plugged holes without even realising. If it's a big shop, bitch at them and try to get a new pair, but they'll probably just pass the blame to whoever took the work order so maybe not. My shop is pretty small and I know for sure that my boss wouldn't do shit if a customer complained about something like this.
