Hey i got some tj schiller promodels and some corrupt bindings. I took them in and the ski tech has never heard of corrupt before. he said that he wouldnt be able to mount them because the midsole was an inificient size. any ideas anything will help

what? Did he explain what he meant by this nonsense?

BTW. The CoreUpt bindings are relabeled Rossi bindings this year right? (I think they were VIST a couple years back).

Even though I dont like CoreUPT its pretty weird that a ski shop doesnt know the brand..that is the first thing that tells you it isnt a really good shop..and what does he mean with:

''the midsole was an inificient size'' ?!?!

The ski's are to wide for their binding molds? Thats really the only thing I can think of.. But if thats it than they never worked with powder ski's, so dont go there..

Ya they are...

Take your skis to a different shop... It sounds like that one doesn't know what they are doing.

Then he must not have a jig to mount rossi bindings. They are the same binding except is says coreupt instead of rossi.

That is a strange jig not to have.

If no one in that shop can mount a ski without a jig, be happy that you have to go somewhere else.

i dont really know how they could not know what corrupt is but  try and take it some were else. the same thing happend to me last year when i took in my kung fujas with the then new Marker jester schizo frantic system and they said what do you do with this, and they said they had never seen them before and that they had never seen this ski either. i said well it just came out and they said we cant mount them. idk fuckin idiots.

This... Hand mounting skis isn't that hard... I mounted my first pair when I was 8...

It could be a liability issue though, man isn't as close to perfect as a machine (or in this case a metal plate with some holes in it and some rubber grips).
