this looks like the first time it's happened. throw in plugs/coils and go ski them again.

Re: Those saying to remount the skis: I was about ready to retire the skis and bindings anyway. Bindings are completely shot, skis are in pretty rough shape too. Many core shots and the edges are beyond saving. I might remount the skis as a backup pair though.

Releasing when they shouldn't be (DIN, forward pressure, etc are set correctly so that's not the issue) and not holding boots securely (boot will wobble within binding). I've had them for 3 years and ski like 80 days a year, and from what I've heard bindings are supposed to last 3 years or so (according to a ski/bike shop employee).

Wing tightness is tricky To nail, toe height is important too. Like the dude above said. Probably your boots. If you don't want the bindings... I'll take them :D

I don't think so, checked them recently and the toe/heel plates are still good.

I don't think it's the wings or toe height because they functioned perfectly for 3 years, just started acting up recently (and my boots are working perfectly with my other skis). I guess there's a chance that the toe/heel plates wearing down means the toe height and wings have to be re-adjusted, but the wobble is very severe (as in something like 1/2cm to 1cm of play), seemingly much more than having toe height or wings misadjusted would cause, especially since it came on pretty suddenly.
