Guys, its $80 at snow/ski company if you bring in skis and bindings that you bought online or from a friend, someone on newschoolers, etc. Its 26 for an adjust/remount. Its free if you happy to buy the skis from either of the stores.

next week looks like 2 solid days of cold temps and snow, i bet they will get it open in those 48 hours.  i was talking to a guy that is on the snowmaking team and he said its not the weather that really melts the snow, its the rain.
