Gay Area Magnions? Where to get my soon-to-arrive babies mounted? I'm not risking any-motherfucker or REI unless people have had good experiences.... Just p14s on normal skis but I can't afford in time or money a fuckup...
Thanks

Don't go to REI! They forgot to screw in the binders on my skis and my buddies. They suck.
Mountain West is a good shop for mounting and repairs.

Lombardi might be OK too.

i will ignore the softball on this (living in the area, even i am a little tired of the "gay" jokes...)
do yourself a favor and wait until you get up to Tahoe and have them mounted. seriously...Granite Chief, Porters, the repair shop at Alpine (all these North Lake), even Daves, etc...all will do a better, more professional job than anywhere in SF...
If I +had+ to do it in SF, would go to Lombardis...but only after i asked to speak with the ski goods manager, and ascertained that the kiddies in the back knew what they were doing, were trained,a dn that they would back-up their work (which they should, overall Lombardis has good CS)....just my .02....

i forget the exact name, but something like Swiss Ski Sport in San Rafael (Marin) isn't that bad. they are pretty high end shop with some race stuff. a few years ago, i was there on my lunch hour and bumped into Johnny Mosely getting a bunch of skis mounted. so... i guess that can't be all bad.

The power exchange?
I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

Talk to Adam at Lombardi's. He has it down.
Did my Spatulas, and has mounted up Freerides for me as well.
He works every day except Tuesday& Wednesday.

Lombardis can definitely do it....they've mounted race-stock bindings for me...but that was in the off season.
However, unless you can cut a behind the back deal, you're looking at a $60 mount...OUCH!!!
