Is it crazy optimistic to think there will be good snow in early to mid- December?


With the current state of the climate, you very easily could end up SOL. At a minimum, have an alternate plan if you're dead set on dates.


Any chance you'll have Outdoor Prolink friends and family access code this year?

Pretty soon we'll need to roll over to a 26-27 thread.

I've got my free 100's in and some matching marker griffons. I've got the right diameter and depth bit 3.5x9.5 and patterns and watched about half a dozen videos of binding mountings. Looks like if I mark and measure and measure and measure, it's pretty straightforward to do. I've been adjusting my own bindings for a couple of seasons now. I might do a practice run on some plywood just to make sure I get the rear properly centered on the adjustment screw range, and the template scale is right on.

4nm screw torque is about 35 inch lbs. a little waterproof TBIII glue and done.

I'll probably measure out and mount at -4cm from true center which is pretty much on the tics on the skis for the recommended mount. A bit forward of what I am used to but I'll adapt. I don't ski enough to be able to tell subtle mount point difference so I'll go with the recommended location. Now we need El Niño to do its thing and give the southwest a good start to the season in November.

Post close up pictures when you're done so we can critique!
I have a hodgepodge of old bindings and old skis that I'm reconfiguring. I started by moving the look zrs heels on a pair of old 192 dyna 4x4 forward 10cm (not shocking these skis once belonged to someone larger than me). Filled old holes with g-flex, printed up templates and these things aren't the same pattern as any of the turntable templates, so I get out the calipers and start measuring and marking. Measure over and over and over then punch and measure again, and I guess I need to stop looking at decimal mm because it's not as exact as I swear I had it marked. Then I remembered that ski boots are plastic and mine are beat up plastic and what's a mm or two between friend, so I go ahead and drill anyway, blow out holes out, spooge some titebond in the holes and on the screws and fkn send it. Boots click in, forward pressure looks good, pretty sure they won't kill me and a busload of nuns despite the bindings being 25 years old and me not being a stoned 17 year old
Next is px15s on my revolt 124s, this time the heel holes didn't match the px template. Mounted one on a board where it looked like the templates should line up and was able to adjust forward pressure and boot center lines up where it's supposed to so I feel good about mounting those next time I have a few hours to kill

bases on the past, current projections for 26/27.

PNW higher than average temps. lower than average precipitation.

Colorado/NM/Utah slightly above average temps but higher than average precipitation especially in San Juans
