How many times can you mount skis?

My ON3P Kartels have been drilled 3 times already and the spot they're mounted in right now sucks. It's been a rough go between shops and bindings - first shop couldn't figure out how to mount my Tyrolia Adrenaline bindings after drilling holes, so they bought me Marker F12 Tour bindings and mounted them forward of where I originally wanted which I said okay to rather than demand new skis. My mistake. Half a season goes by and these bindings start pre-releasing and won't hold forward pressure. I still have the Tyrolias, so I take them to another shop who knows how to mount them, but I fucked up again and didn't specify that I wanted them mounted behind the old holes, and so they mounted them in front about at -1. So now my skis are nearly center mounted, and they won't float in powder or hold an edge without skiing hard in the back seat, and they've been drilled 3 times. Is it possible to try to mount them a fourth time behind all the old holes at -4 or -5, or do I need to just start over and get new skis?

Honestly i would just start over and get new skis, it will just turn into a money pit by buying specific bindings that don’t get too close to the old holes.

What about heli coils? Or inserts?

Lmao imagine being a mechanic who is paid to mount bindings to skis (both of which are worth hundreds per pair) and not being able to even figure out how to mount Tyrolias. Then just slapping a random binding on there without even telling the customer. The fucking audacity of some shop techs...

key here is hardwood/epoxy filling of holes and or inserts imho

you can get the standard 6,5mm inserts, but also 15mm inserts (QK rescue), meaning covering multiple holes posibly



do you know exact holes /positions so you can map it out on a piece of paper/plank? or pictures of it?

All the old holes have been filled in, so it's just a matter of moving it where it will fit I suppose.
