Once you decide on a position, drill at will if you’re far enough from existing holes. If using a mechanical jig you can look down through the drill bushings and check how close to the old holes you are.

So, how to do the deed? Lay out your new binding holes on your backcountry skis. (Bear in mind I’m not an aggressive skier, don’t fall that much, use release bindings set to release, and mount bindings using the methods detailed below.) I’ve skied for years on planks Swiss-cheesed with up to four sets of binding holes and never broken a ski under the foot or had a binding rip out in normal use. More, nearly all modern skis are overall super strong. (Though a recent trend has been to back off from this to save weight, so be sure to research what you’ve got). Thanks to the needs of telemarkers, many if not most of today’s backcountry touring skis have an incredibly beefy reinforcement in the binding mount area. Otherwise, read on - you can drill a bunch of holes in most skis (though some ski models are known to be weak and indeed should only have one set of holes). This might still be true for large aggressive skiers using non-release telemark bindings or DIN 16 touring binders set to max. Steve, thanks for throwing away those lime green Tuas with Ramers - I found them in the dumpster and they’re now for sale on Ebay as valuable antiques.Īs for re-drilling skis, there is a traditional view in ski culture that drilling extra binding holes devalues a ski and weakens it to the point where one should be cautious about using it hard. It won’t be long now! Still as crazy about skiing as 30 years ago– Steve Saw new snow high up in the Mosquito range this weekend. Any advice would be appreciated and thanks. I have some basic questions like what should I fill the old holes with and what if the new layout partially overlaps the old holes? Fill then drill? I thought this might be a good subject for a blog, what with the current ski sales frenzy, other folks might be in the same situation. Have you done this type of retrofit before? My guess is lots & lots. I love the ski but want to take off the tele bindings and put on a pair of Dynafits. I picked up a pair of Havocs at the end of the season that were mounted with tele bindings. Which leads me to the point of this email.

You motivated me to take up randonee skiing humping up & down A-basin every weekend while my wife was learning how to snowboard at an enthusiastic 54 get up to Jackson for closing week, (yes I was there in the award tent scamming free beer after the race thinking, “man with this kind of swag, I’m definitely entering next year”), and regret tossing that lime green pair of 175cm TUA skis with the old Ramer bindings I bought new back in ’85 or so. Lou- Sure have enjoyed your blog for the past year or so, in fact, it’s the only blog I make a point of reading nearly every day.
