so today i was skiing along just fine, hitting jumps and rails and whatnot when i landed a sketch 180 and i heel ejected. now when this happened the entire under heel piece broke off, including the ski brake resulting in a run away ski that took half an hour to find. my question newschoolers is where can i get this replacement part for the binding (the part mounts the under heel piece to the ski), preferably online since im stranded at college with no car.
thanks pc

Don't know about online, but go into a local ski shop and they should have some in their junk bins.

I had the same problem with rossis and the ski techs where I broke it said i needed new bindings but some guys at my hill were able to fix it. the whole metal track thing was bent and the screws came out a little but they rebent the metal back into shape and put the binding piece in and it worked. If your ski looks anything like this there might be hope

wow im surprised how many people this has happened to. it looks identical to the binding pictured above^ so there is hope.  yea chris it was at mt snow i think its because i let you put them on, and everytime you touch a piece of ski equipment something bad happens. lol

you realize rossi's are look's who also make dynastar. so pretty much the only good bindings you can buy now are tyrolla's or race stock markers. just get some 14's. that wont happen.
