For clarification: "Ski Pegs" are the little sticks that are attached to your bindings, that dig into the snow when the boot is not in.

Look at them. Determine which way they're bent. Bend them the other way.

Usually your shop will do it free, sometimes you'll need to remove the brake from the binding and clamp it in place. Using a pole over the brake gives you extra leverage and accuracy.

if your weak like me put one side of the brake into a vice and take some pliers and bend the other one outwards/inwards which ever way it needs to be bent.

This thread alone is a legitimate case for the return of the golden wheelchair.
