I know a lot of you guys ski tele, so you're using inserts.
I am wondering if anyone mounting alpine has had good sucess adding an extra mounting plate to help ensure the screws dont pull out.
I was thinking of using just an extra layer of fiberglass underfoot or maybe a piece of fiberglass mat, but am looking to see if anyone else has used these or any other ideas?
Thanks

I have used an extra layer of the triaxial glass (so that would equal 6 total layers of glass underfoot), and my bindings have held super strong.
I'm a freestyle/freerider and I took some pretty BIG wrecks last year. Granted, I'm only 150lbs but I ride my DIN at about 10-11 and my bindings still held. (I actually broke a plastic toe piece last year)
BTW the extra sheet is not the full length of my binding but rather I use two smaller squares of the tri-glass just under the toe and heel mounting points. This is so I don't make the center of the ski super stiff (your boot does enough of that already).
Anyway that's my experience.
