First take the burnt up Solly 912s and mount 'em in the dumpster (or
sell 'em on eBay as spare parts) nothin' less useful than a binding you
can't trust, and it could cost you more than a day's lift ticket when
(not if) it fails...

Secondly, why load up the relatively light weight R:EX with a heavier
binding and put your nice light Freerides on the beastly-heavy CMH? Make
the R:EX your touring ski- it's the ticket! Let the lift/cat/heli drag
the CMHs up hill!

Unloading Freeride-drilled Pocket Rockets should be no problema- there
are plenty of 'em in the woods (although I gotta say that super-soft
tail feels like a powder-only kind of ski to me. Haven't skied 'em but
if they're cheap enough... :-)  )  If you don't need to get retail price
out of 'em I'm sure you could move 'em on the telemarktips.com swap page
in about 20seconds come the first snow, and there would be folks
_thrilled_ that they came pre-drilled for Freerides!
