nevermind...I give up. this place is fucking retarded.

A fun thing to do is take an 11-17, put your skier type at 1, underreport your weight, and see if they call you before they mount it.

if they don't you can threaten them when you pick up the skis, and complain that they drilled your skis without notifying you that your bindings are "unsafe."

Back in the day we had a guy cross out the I,II,III thing, add an X, and then mark his level as XI. The boss found this funny enough to set the din where he wanted it.

Or pick up several pair of junior skis and junior race bindings from rep, bring some to two different shops in town over a couple months in fall for mounts, ski all fall, and then bring a pair in during January for something.

Cue nerd boy (yours truly) to finally notice that no, "junior race bindings" aren't necessarily or even usually junior norm compatible, and no, size 21 boots are not adult boot soles. Poor little fucker skied with wobbly toe for months because some rep doesn't know his shit and two techs at two different shops sucked too hard to notice. Went back and found the forms...Dad didn't fuck up, bootsole clearly marked and correct...

The Dad wasn't pissed, just incredulous that I was telling him he needed all new bindings. Worked out well enough.

I'll take you up on that I bet you suck. Most likely one of those guys in their 30's who thinks he skis as well as me.

And for proper release for me on the current Px12ti's it's FL 8.5,FR 9.0,BL 9.0 ,BR 9.5, which isn't something I'd have done on my own with a posi-drive.

Anyway, the slip notations were quite a few years ago in my early 20's with MRR's.

I'll be in Utah for a week 3/22-3/29 if anyone wants to make some turns with an ex-level IV skier.
