seriously?? dude if you have a jig it's easier then puting a nail in a board.. but even if you dont have a jig just use a piece of paper and you're set.. shit's easy.

I wax myself and adjust my bindings but I'd be too scared I'd fuck it up and wreck the ski.

if you have an old pair that you used with the same size boots, take the bindings off and use a manila folder to make a template, then align it right on the new skis, tape off a drill bit so you dont go too deep, and drill.  make sure to put some elmer's in the drill holes before you attach the bindings so the screws dont back out

I guess I'll try to mount my old skis, and if that goes well I'll do my new ones myself too.  But im not gonna risk my new ones first.

unless your well experianced  wouldnt reccomend anyone mounting there own shjit unless they have a jig and the proper bit.  If you know your shit you can use template's and whatnot and its a bitch, you gotta measure widths and lengths, its not that bad but you really want to be exact.

i do but i've been working at shops for years.  the cheapest way for people to get binding mounts is a 6 pack.

the cheapest way to get your skis mounted is to pay with pizza or beer... or sexual favors, if you're into that.
