Im pretty sure you can remount skis once but anytime after that they aren't any good. The holes have to be a certain distance apart too.

You can usually remount skis pretty easily. If you take them to a shop, they will do a good job filling the old holes and making sure things line up so that you won't rip out the new bindings.

yeah, 3 mounts is usually the limit for a ski, after that it starts to get fucked. and if you're going from salomon bindings to look bindings, i dont think it'll be too big of a deal, they might have to alter your midpoint a tiny bit either forward or backward, maybe it'll work out to keep the original one though...but yeah, go for it.

if you have had to remount your ski 3 times, the rest of the ski is probably shot anyways. Going to the look binder should not be a problem, because the heel mounts much further to center than the salamander.

Make sure that the new and old holes don't have a space that is less than the diameter of a screw between them.
