Dynafit Mounting was created by airpoppoff
I picked up a set of Dynafit TLT Vertical FT's on the cheap ($380 @ bc.com) and need to get them mounted on my Seths. My seths have been drilled for Small Dukes, Large Dukes and now I'm going to be mounting these. I live in Central WA and don't really have any "Backcountry Shops" that I would even trust mounting these. I've read the wildsnow tutorial about 20 times and still don't think I feel comfortable doing it myself (at least the first time, as I mounted my own dukes just fine).
I'd be willing to drop them off with someone in Seattle, or closer, any suggestions?
TIA
Matt

dukes are more difficult to mount imo.
do a trial mount on a 2x4, get it dialed in good then make a template off that.
drill holes just right, apply glue, screw in dynafiddles with direct downward presure.
not too tight you don't want a spinner.
easy and sets you free

This! When you're done, you'll know if you can do it. If you're worried about repeatability, just flip the 2x4 over and do it again (make sure not to strip the screwheads ...)
If you want a shop to do it, there are plenty of great choices in Seattle. I'd trust Marmot and ProSki Seattle to do my skis, as I've seen their work firsthand on partner's skis, but lots of other shops should be great too.

What about Mountain Gear in Spokane (if it is closer than Seattle)?

What about Leavenworth Mountain Sports. I've talked to the owner or manager guy several times and I would guess that his guys know how to do a good mounting job.
