I do so love the idea that a sixteen year old part timer who started
at the shop last week is an "experienced professional" or am I just
being overly cynical....


The modern binding testing machines are automated and fairly
idiot-proof. Yes, someone can still screw it up if they try hard
enough, but you really don't need a decade of experience to use the
machines. Welcome to the modern world.

That said, the place I get mine tested does not have a high turnover
of employees.


With a modern "System" binding, It's not like you can Wreck the ski anymore,
but even before the jigs used for drilling made it pretty difficult to go
wrong.
of course over your side of the pond they always test the bindings don't
they..

Is it possible to be overly cynical?
