STP Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Fresh couple of inches this morning over crispy ice. Ski area is only open weekends now so there are much deeper pockets of snow, 6-8 inches, outside the groom tracks. Generally taking it easy at the top of the slope on the first run of this trail. Nice back turn thru the crud and snapped the rear bale on my original Trench Diggers. (thank god that I was not going mach). See pictures. A little calculations: 14 years old binding average 35 days a year minimum 25 runs per day 12,250 runs!!!!! These bindings are the best ever. I cannot believe they have not broken before! Thanks goodness I have other bindings as tomorrow is the last day of skiing at the ski area..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 I'd change all the bails, lugs and shoulder bolts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladia Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I broke mine several years ago. Small crack and the rust made the rest. Funny was a week before I was talking to another hardbooter about broken bails and I was telling her these are in destructible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
