I need to know somewhere online that can mount my invaders and not fuck them up. I have the boots allready.

With the money and time you will spend shipping your skis/boots/bindings off to a shop, you could spend half the time and money and just drive to the closest state that does have a shop

Not many shops in the midwest are open year around (i cant think of any actually)... not sure how shops will actually let you ship them your skis and bindings and then them mount them though.

for summer jibbing, get a cheap pair of regular skis, works just as well....
and about these so called "winter" skishops, its not because they don't show/sell ski stuff in summer that they don't mount/wax skis....

i agree do not find a place online, shipping would be a bitch. Think about it pair of skis, one or a pair of boots, bindings.... plus then you need to tell them all your details. I would search for a shop that is close and go that route.

do you look 16? drive yourself, police only pull over teens to be a dick when there are multiple guys in the car(at least in California).  and if not that, mount them yourself.  check TGR for advice, doesn't look too hard.  For me I will probably just pay a shop guy to let me borrow the Tyrolia tempelate to mount my Peak 18s/15s and FF11s.
