How many times can you mount?

Im riding some 08 anthems and my current bindings just broke(1 mount). I just got some new fks's and am going to get them mounted(2nd mount) tomorrow so i can ski the rest of the season. The only thing im worried about is next season i am MOST DEFINETLY getting new boots which will be a different BSL(only be a few mm) so that would probably require a third mount.

3 mounts seems like quite a bit, is this too much?

a 4rth mount is to much, you should be good with 3. as for boots within about 7 mm of bsl your bindings should be able to adjust to that size with out a remount

my afterbangs are mounted 5 times.. but it's ok when they break because they cost me more to mount and tune ($35) than i actually bought em for (>$35)

3 times is usually the max - and that means drilling new holes, you can mount several times if you are able to use the same/most of the same holes.

(For anthems): center, then -2, then turn them around and -2, then -4, then turn them the other way and -4(since they're symmetrical so you can have the tails forward), and about two mounts with a wierd hole pattern avoiding those holes.

So 7 normal mounts is always OK, and then for the eighth and final mount you can just wipe tons of epoxy all over the ski and drop the bindings on that and they should stick forever.

8 mounts.  I'm glad I could help.
