You can do it but you have to know what you're doing. Make sure to use the right jig, right drill bit, etc. Wrong drill bit and you'll ruin the skis. And you'll need a way to clamp the skis down to keep them from moving.

I don't have the guts to drill into my skis.

I remounted my rock skis a couple times by using basic math skills and a power drill. I would consider myself a pretty "handy" guy but it's not rocket science. That being said, If I get brand new skis I will have them mounted by a "professional" because a $700 mistake is no bueno.

No, it's actually really easy as long as you understand the process and know/have the tools you are going to need.

$50 for a mount vs potential knee surgery is an easy choice for me.

Check yourself until you know your work can be trusted. And then still check yourself.
