    Help! Esp. NYC, CT, Boston area Maggs

    I need some help getting a Salomon Hangl (Poweraxe) plate mounted. I've been to about ten different places (the places here in NYC and four or five in VT today) and no luck--no one has the jig for this plate. After breaking my other race skis, this unmounted pair is all I've got, and I'm supposed to be using them next weekend--this is getting way late for me to be hopping on new skis, or improvising. So....
    Anyone know of a shop that would likely be able to do this? Probably a pretty race oriented place, big on Salomon stuff might make it more likely (but two of the VT places bill themselves as Salomon Tech Centers and they still couldn't do it). I can probably get my stuff to Boston, NJ, or southern CT in time to do this.
    Thanks...

    Dex, try the Inside Edge/Reliable Racing in Glens Falls. They specialize in race stock equipment, so they might have the jig.

    Dex,

    I might be able to help out. Where did you try in VT?

    I'm assuming my friends at Flatton have the jib you're looking for - I'll call and ask.

    If not I've got some old Fisher RC4 race boards in a 215 with a plate. You're more then welcome to use those...

    why make ten turns when you only need to make NONE!

    Actually, I might want to use those 215s in March at Jay Peak...but I'm not sure how I can make them work in a few GS turns I'll have to handle for this thing...

    You get my email? A place around Stratton was recommended to me (somewhere on 30?), but I'm suspicious. It would be great if you could check on that.

    Try this guy. Not in CT, NY, or Boston, but...

    also, he has a link to Edgewise. One of these guys must have one.

    My Fishers are the yellow GS boards - something like '92. They are so skinny and long it's too funny. I ran a few GS races on them before moving back east and since then they've been collecting dust.

    I left a vm w/ a friend who trains w/ their race team and I'm assuming one of them could hook you up.

    I'll keep you posted.

    Ski Sharp in Waitsfield should be able to help, they seem to know their shit quite well. They do a lot of race tuning, so I assume they'd have the jig.

    Yeah, I'd consider them if I could do the six hour drive to Waitsfield before next weekend. Seems like a cool shop.
