K-Mart regulars best shop for binding check and tune?

**laseranimal** · 11-10-2004, 12:56 PM

I'm heading up tomorrow, I have two pairs of my wifes skis that have been sitting with storage wax and DIN screws lowered for two years. She's planning on skiing Sunday, I've already called my local shop and due to the volume of skis they have they can't get em back to me for at least 10 days. So is there anyone who's good at K-Mart. I'd like to get a stonegrind, tune and binding check but in the interest of time I'd settle for just a release check. Ideally I'd like to drop em off in the AM and pick them up in the afternoon.

Any suggestions?

I'd go for Northern, Basin, or Fred's, in that order.

i have an idea. turn the screws to the din she was last at and scrape the wax off the skis and go skiing.

forgot to add that I'm a total K-Mart jong so I have NO idea where any of those places are in relation to the K-1 base area so directions would be MOST helpful

edit Basom I'd LOVE to be able to do that but I don't remember the DIN setting

Aspen East, ask for Lisa, tell her Aldo sent you. Coming from Rutland, pass the access road continue South on 100 it'll be on your left in less than a mile.

Fred's Freeride - coolest guy in Killington. Pay him a visit. You won't be disappointed.

basom if you need the number of my lawyer just let me know. oh my gosh that is so dangerous.

**basom** · 11-10-2004, 01:28 PM

wait, i thought you were my lawyer?

i think i'm high.

**mildbill.** · 11-10-2004, 01:31 PM

yes, you are correct: i'm your lawyer, but it's really more of a criminal defense thing. this guy does better with the ambulance chasers.

because, as you know, ski binding adjustment is an extremely complex procedure, and to be done safely requires a safety coordinator such as yoursefl.

and i find it hard to belive that you, of all people, would be high.

No, that's me (I'm your proofreader, of course, but I guess I can be your attorney, too). As your attorney, I advise you that a DIN of 17 is probably too high for her.
(Real advice: just put 'em a bit lower than you think she should run 'em, and click 'em up if she starts to come out.)

All of the shops are on the access road, in that order actually.
