Alpine skiing participation, on the other hand, is flat. I can’t think of any healthy, growing sport for which the supply chain so actively tries to make that sport unapproachable for the common man. Shame on the ski manufacturing and ski retailing community for this.

So, they refuse to make this information available to the public. We believe the volunteer at the municipal rope tow should be able to find out immediately if the bindings on the donated skis are indemnified.Īpparently most manufacturers and retailers disagree. We believe that a healthy market for used equipment will engage millions of people who otherwise can’t afford to ski. We believe that educated, active, informed and involved enthusiasts are the way to grow the sport. Even new equipment can fail inexplicably due to unforeseen hazards or issues, resulting in injury, paralysis, coma, loss of limbs, permanent disability, internal injuries, thrombosis, concussion, disfigurement, heart failure, stroke, suffocation, decapitation, pain and suffering, and/or death. Skiing is a dangerous sport, you can die. By reading this page, user agrees that Ski Bum USA is not liable for any subsequent use of this information.

DANGER! Severe injury/Permanent disability if gear selection and setting not done by professional. If you want to discuss the templates, or want to help create templates for bindings not listed here, please visit the active discussion here. Please also be aware that these templates may be updated at any time, so please be sure that you are using the revision linked here (suffix R2 denotes revision 2). All of the templates print on 8.5x11 paper, but be sure to check the print with a ruler and adjust the print scaling percentage. These are also a great resource for checking for hole conflicts on multiple mounts. With help from many of the members of the Teton Gravity Research message boards, Jon maintains a set of paper templates for mounting bindings to skis.
