They might do that, although I'm not sure what the insurance impications would be of adjusting bindings on customer's own kit. Best ring and ask. If the Snow Centre staff aren't allowed to do that Snow & Rock is based there and they should have a ski technician who can do the job.

If it's the same S&R staff who were at their shop when it was a dry slope they were very helpful indeed when I needed a new brake on my skis, They adjusted the bindings (to a different boot size) at the same time and it wasn't expensive at all.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

o11y, I checked the situation earlier today. The staff at the Snow Centre wouldn't be allowed to do that job for you I'm afraid. Maybe call Snow and Rock in advance to make sure they have someone available to do the job for you.

The £25 S&R quoted should be for a full binding mount. For safety reasons it's industry standard to do a 'basic' boot adjust for free.

Good old slush and rubble, charging extortionate rates for very very easy 30 second jobs.

In their defence, they mounted my bindings for free, and i didn't even buy anything from them. They felt sorry for me cos Salomon kept sendng me the wrong bindings (to my home address), so they had my new skis and the wrong bindings sat in their shop for ages whilst i waited for the right ones to be sent.
