Replying to Slide off demo binding for air travel
A few years ago I started buying skis with demo bindings in part because it made it easier to have a quiver along and everyone can use the skis pretty quickly.
A friend asked, hey, have you ever tried to see if the demo binding slides off the rails so then it would make packing the skis easier for travel. I tried, and in fact could easily slide all the demos off their track.
I'm a bit worried that TSA will forget to put them back in the ski bag but it would mean I can take 3 pairs and nicely package them up. Currently I have to go through gyrations to get them to fit in the boundary roller and then TSA opens up the bag and messes it all up which then seems to cause tears in the bag due to skis bouncing around in there.
It would also allow me to bring extra skis and take the bindings as carry on for weight.
Thoughts?
