'Previously, there was only one ski shop in the whole valley that mounted skis and they could be backed up for several weeks at peak times. In addition, they won't work on most backcountry bindings forcing people to drive to North Bend or Seattle to get their backcountry gear mounted.' -Patrick Donahue

Eastside Cycleworks mounts all types of bindings with no exceptions.

Their professional boot fitter has years of experience working on high-end boots in Salt Lake City, Utah. They have the most experienced boot fitter in the area and are creating something special on the corner of 14th Street and Front Street - not far from the Highway 2/Plain Highway intersection.
