If youre willing to drive down to UT county, there is spot called (it used to be nymans). It is owned and operated by blake nyman who is an olympic ski racer and he has always done a great job on my skis. I heard Christy sports also does pretty good

at REI they will NEVER tell you that you are putting on the wrong bindings or bought the wrong pair of skis, they are the up-most experts in how you ski, so take everything they say as gospel

You got your Nyman brothers mixed up. Steven is the former US Ski Team racer, Blake skied for Surface and was in some of the original Nimbus films

mount them yourself.

Unless you truly have negative mechanical skills, in which I respect the honesty, have someone else do it.

Level 9 in Millcreek did a perfect job for me with a custom mount point with the CAST system in like 2 days. Also, the people working there were homies.

From my experience, sports den has consistently long wait times for mounts and it really seems like the people working there couldn't give less of a fuck about you unless you are in the industry or you look like you make 400k a year. Sure, they have the most reputable mounting service in Utah but, lots of other places consistently do great mounts with way better service.

To be fair, I haven't been there in years, I only suggest it because they were good forever and I knew a few ppl who worked there for a long time.

Level 9 does a good job. Please don’t ever go to ski n see. If you do, you’re begging for a headache and a pocket that hurts.

There's like 900 Ski N See's lol so you never know who's going to be mounting your shit. Could be fine but also could turn out baked.
