intheways Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I scored a sweet set of skis with Dynafits, but I need to get the bindings adjusted for my boots. Any recommendations for a shop? Thanks Quote
mkporwit Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Marmot Mountain Works in Bellevue would be my recommendation. Quote

hasbeen Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Pro Ski on Aurora if you are looking for a shop in Seattle. Quote
AlpineK Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Pro Ski on Aurora if you are looking for a shop in Seattle. Maybe. I have heard a few less than positive stories; then again I've heard some good reports too. Quote
jon Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Call World Cup Ski Service in Bellevue and ask them if they mount Dynafits. If they don't know how to do this they won't. They are the best pure service place in the area. Quote
AlpineK Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Thanks for bringing that up. I just called them and yes they do mount dynafit bindings. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I've had good luck with the employees at Pro Ski. Quote
korup Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Pro Ski in N Bend is still run by Martin Volken and is highly recommended (the ski tech, Caley, knows his sh*t). The Seattle location isn't, and it shows (shopkeeps are too busy "bro-brahing" to interact with lowly customers). Second Ascent also does a great job mounting D'fits. Marmot charges double what they should. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I agree that sometimes you have to wait for a while to talk to someone at Pro Ski. But the employees there do know their shit. That doesn't have anything to do with mounting bindings anyway. Quote
intheways Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 Thanks for the replies. I will probably got to 2nd ascent or Pro Ski, depending which I am closer too. Quote

That doesn't have anything to do with mounting bindings anyway. Maybe I am insane, but I assume customer service is a crucial part of any business. The three times I've stopped by the Seattle store, the punks behind the counter simply couldn't be bothered to stop yacking about getting wasted and/or "sick park sessions" to acknowledge the fact that a customer was actually in the shop and wanting help. I will happily steer people elsewhere. Quote
AlpineK Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 I think the store is different from when Martin ran it. I had stuff done by Martin and the place ruled, but it's been a while since then. Quote

I will happily steer people elsewhere. I've had similar tude at the North Bend store. Almost aggressive at times. Alas, such is the fate of ski stores in the current era. And so the solution is to mount my Dynafits myself. Quote
AlpineK Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I just got skis with mounted dynafits back from World Cup. The work they did looks really good, but I haven't skied on them yet. World Cup Quote
