yikes Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I'm an inexperienced skier. I was out touring today and broke a binding while side-hilling in trees. Luckily I was only about a mile from the car and was able to boot it/single ski out relatively painlessly. My question is do you guys carry a "repair kit"? If so, what's in it? I was skiing on Silvretta 500s and stripped the device that adjusts the boot length on the rails. Quote
OlympicMtnBoy Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Maybe ask over at wildsnow.com they carry binding/ski repair kits on long tours and might have some suggestions. I usually ski badly enough that I probably won't be that much slower booting it out anyways. ;-) Quote
Prussik Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I almost always carry p-cord. Seems to be handy. If you need to get replacement parts for your binding I would try Neptune Mountaineering in Boulder. I recently dealt with them with a replacement part for my Silvretta 500's (broken piece that covers the DIN screw on the heel). Cheers! Quote
