This is a Haskell program to generate ski binding mounting templates in SVG given a boot sole length (BSL). Currently bindings supported include Look Pivot and SPX, Salomon Shift, and Marker Jester, Griffon, and Squire. Tyrolia, Look R22, and Look Rockerace templates are provided, but have not been verified.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
- Print the template that matches your BSL. Verify the correct print scaling. From crosshair to crosshair on the midsole mark is 190 mm.
- Join the two template sheets together by aligning the midsole marks of each page. It helps to cut out the center of the two crosshairs on one page.
- Using masking tape, mark the desired midsole locations on both skis. Put the skis together to verify the midsole mark is the same.
- Place two pieces of masking tape on the middle of each ski at the approximate locations of the paper edge of the template. Using a marking gauge or calipers, mark the centerline of the ski on the masking tape.
- Place the template on the ski, aligning the midsole marks and the centerline. It helps to cut a hole on the midsole line so you can see the midsole line on the ski through the template.
- With the template aligned and taped to the ski, mark the holes for drilling with a center punch.
