Interesting idea, but I'd be looking at $600+ in mount plates for my quiver...I'll just be careful when mounting.
That said, I agree with folks suggesting to have a design that doesn't move the holes. Having a mount pattern that dodges all traditional holes would also be sweet, but I don't know how reasonable that would be. I think your plate would have to grow a lot, which would increase cost and potentially put a lower limit on the ski width. My reasoning - I have some seriously swiss cheesed skis and I don't think I could fit this mount on 1/2 my quiver (well I could, just not anywhere close to where I want the mount to be)
Could add some material to the top of the boss to account for the countersink while maintaining the existing minimum wall thickness. Even more wasted material, but still, possible...
Yeah this seems like a good solution, I'm guessing it would be much cheaper (waaaay less chipped aluminum).

hm, strange - I do not get that vibe at all from those posts.
Having differing opinions is fine. It is not more arrogant to stick to an evolved design than to "demand" that a product be update before you have even placed an order. If the current design is not your cup of tea, just do not buy it. Perhaps the next iteration of it will be - if there ever is one.

I’m laughing that you guys think a company of any size would consider your concerns about your 3x mounted skis in their business model. Lol

Cascade wrote this awesome synopsis of the thought process behind the current design in this thread over at NS. I think that it is awesome that the he actually takes the time to explain why they have landed on the design.

What sort of field testing have you carried out so far? How many days on snow etc? What are the screw dimensions?
The +1 cm mount is a blessing in disguise for me, since my beloved WR Renegades were drilled for longer BSL. I've since moved to 306BSL and I'm right at or over the limit on the pivots.

Interesting, Id consider a set to play with.
Most engineers shouldn't talk to humans without council.a positive attitude will not solve all of your problems, but it may annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Has the added stiffness of this CNC'd toe block been compared against current CAST plate? Seems like this would add some rigidity under the toe piece. Whether this affects the ski flex in any accountable way I have no clue but seems like one thing the current CAST plate would have over this kind of toe block.

I had the OG cast setup on a pair of soft Line skis and bent 2 sets of toe plates slightly.
I’d file this new toe plate in question under the ‘you’ll never notice a difference’ category

Can you find a way to mount a tech toe to a marker griffon demo toe? Ala Lindahl's hack but with a marker instead of a tyrolia?

Is this still being worked on/planned to be brought to market sometime?

Maybe this thing is worthwhile. I’ve been seeing lots of issues with the screw towers. They seems to get crooked over time and cause issues.

and it is why the Shift skis so well. only fixed screws are right under your boot’s toe lug. shorter than a Pivot or Sth.
i do love my casts but see this as impacting the feel of the ski.
also helicoils are a great way to break skis. stronger than regular, yes. too strong for the skis construction? most of the time. it’s not super fun when the toe piece pulls off the top layer of metal and the topsheet of a ski.
