... I've mounted several NNN bindings on old skis that originally had 3 pin bindings. You have to fill the old screw holes (epoxy, hot glue etc) and re-drill...

So how is the snow where everyone is? I am in Central Maine and we got like an inch last night to ad to our inch we had before. It is slow in coming this...
