How bad is it to have a ski mounted 3 times?

I found a pair of used skis online for cheap, the only thing is that they have been mounted twice, which means i have to mount them again, so my question is, Is it still worth it? should i be worried the core of the skis will be weak if its been mounted so many times?

I always heard the general rule is no more than 3, but I'm guessing its probably different for different skis.

I skied a pair of k2 pe's all year last year that are on there 3rd mount. They are working fine for me.

arn't to many materials that are not weakened by drilling holes and removing material
Iu'd be more concerned about where your planned mount aligns w/ previous mounts than an overall 3rd
most snapped cores ive seen tend to be when last mount is not the most forward

3 mounts isnt bad but its the most you want to mount. the bigger concern i would be worried about is holes overlaping and being able to find a spot to mount the bindings that is still where you would want to mount them

3 will work fine as long as you're not super close to the holes on the other mounts. My skis for the summer setup which I absolutely thrash on haven't had any problems at all with 3 mounts
