    Use a POSSI head screw driver and take out the screws. It is easy, if you use the right screw driver. If you don't you can strip the screws. Good luck.
    Thanks Shane

    Hammer and pry bar. If that doesnt work, I have a plasma cutter you can use.

    haha honestly, the screwdriver might not work. If youre lucky they'll back right out, but you might end up rounding out the screws. You can always drill right through them and use some easy-outs if worse comes to worst.

    There is no way this dude is real.... "chrismo720?" A goddam ninja turtle for an avatar? Newschoolers for a sig line? What a fuckin tool.

    Troll.

    On the off chance you are serious, I'd use an ax. Make sure you clamp these skis solid in a vise before you swing away...

    he's offering to give them to someone in gear swap.

    Leave them to soak overnight in a bucket of vinegar. It'll soften the double sided tape. If you can't find vinegar just get a couple of republicans to piss on them.

    Boil them to loosen them up, then put in the microwave for 10 min on high.
    Click. Point. Chute.

    you can try taking a soldering iron to the screw head to heat it up. This will help un-bond some of the fossilized epoxy in there (if there is any). Then use a Posidrive to unscrew it. If you don't have a posi, you can file some of the end off of a #3 Philips, but it's not quite the same and won't last.
    ...so I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

    Put a screw driver sticking up in a vice. Push the ski down on the screwdriver and rotate it.

    use the saw on your swiss army knife to carve small grooves in each binding.
    Then when youre ready wedge your front teeth in there real good and have your buddy pull as hard as they can. Works great.

    He's real, he bought a jacket from me, I also suspect he's in the younger crowd, either that or his dad is also his personal accountant and writes all his checks for him.
    Don't come down on him too hard, he might end up over at nooobschoolers, and God knows thats the kiss of death.

    Righty-tighty, Lefty-loosey.

    Good torx head. (not phillips)

    Hold a soldering iron to the srew head 'till it's super hot.

    Impact wrench.



    -and then if this fails.
    apply Napalm.

    If you do need to drill out the screws, I find a roto-hammer is optimal.
