hey guys. I've got a question about remounting bindings. If there is any holes left in your ski from the previous binding, should you fill them with epoxy or anything? Or if you got it done at a shop, would they do it for you? thanks, and +k to any help

Yeah, shops will fill in holes from previous mounts.

I'm not sure what they fill them with exactly, but it is probably some kind of epoxy. I wouldn't know that though.

Pending on how close the remount will be, they will either fill them with glue and plastic plugs, or they will fill them with glue and hardwood plugs.

do you guys know about what  price it would be to get old bindings taken off, and new ones put on at a shop?

Not too much. depending on how well you know the techs or how chill they are, it could be anywhere from a 6 pack to like 30 bucks. It usually varies per store though.

Exactly, it varies. Usually big stores charge more, while small ski shops do it cheap.

Are you remounting the skis with the same type of binding? You can just drill out the old holes and put inserts in there.
