Replying to DO NOT GET YOUR SKIS MOUNTED AT VERTICAL DROP, EVER.

Ok so I went skiing last night at Perfects, and was having a good night until my skis started acting weird. I kept releasing on my lead ski when I landed on rails decently hard, but dealt with it because i figured I'd just turn up my DIN later.

Later that night I come off a down rail switch, and fall forward and completely eat shit. I take a look at my ski and my heelpiece is pulling out. So I take my broken ski down to the techies. $25, one day, and three helicoils. No biggie, but still pissed.

Later that night I get a call. It's the techie. He says that instead of the needed 4 holes for my heelpiece, there are 10. And to top it off the wrong 6 holes AREN'T EVEN FILLED IN. My core had rotted from the inside out and become fucking mush. Good job idiots.

Thanks, idiot techie, whoever you are.

Ok so I went and got my ski from the shop today. Looked at it and one pair of holes was like completely freehanded and ridiculously off alignment. So pissed.

So I went to the Vertical Drop, who mounted them and complained. I got the manager who kept insisting "no, no, no, that doesn't happen here, we don't do that kind of work." The guy seemed to be implying that I went home after they were mounted and took the heelpiece off and just drilled holes for giggles. Or hey, maybe the drill fairies got ahold of my ski, that could have happened, right?

I was nice about it until he kept implying that I DID that to my OWN skis. Then I just went apeshit about it. I told him "So wait, youre telling me that I worked my ass off for a whole summer to get these skis, and you won't even own up to it and replace them?" to which he replied "well thats your stoy"

Uhm... alright.

I mean really? He's not going to own up to the fact that someone at that shop messed it up?
So here's what he's going to do. He's going to remount them for free... on a pair of skis with 10 holes in the back and a soggy core.
Yeah, that works super well, asshole. 



FUCK Vertical Drop. If you value your skis, DO NOT TAKE YOUR SKIS THERE. EVER.
