I need to get my skis remounted, where's the cheapest / most reliable place to get a remount near seattle?

I was going to seattle ski and snowboard, but when i had my bindings adjusted for new boots last year they charged me like $40 which felt like rape.

Yeah but those guys know their shit. It's better to take yer sticks to them than pay less, and have someone fuck up your shit.

If you want to save some money, pull off the binders and plug the holes. Then the techs only have to mount, saving you labor fees.

You can heel piece by yourself it's easy.

I go to Pilchuck and they always do a good job, well except once, but that was cause some dipshit fuckhead did a remount, make sure you get Brian or Andy or one of the guys who knows what they are doing.

remounts are gonna run you 30-40 anywhere... because you have to plug the old holes and make sure the new ones are far enough away from the old ones. having worked at seattle ski you are only going to get guys that know their shit doing mounts (ie brian, trent or shenanigans) no newbs are allowed near mounts. trust me its worth the money to know your shit isnt gonna rip out on some gnarly line because you payed 20 bucks at joes sporting goods...

having worked at sports authority before....the guys in the shop really dont care at all about your skis and they're just gonna sloppily get it done and call em good. Theres maybe one guy in each shop who really actually knows anything about skis....and usually anything isn't much.

Go to a real shop......no nationwide sporting goods stores.

Ya definitely don't skimp out on $$$ for a remount.  Just like you wouldn't buy boots online, go to a fitter, same logic.
