2020-21 COMBINED INDEMNIFIED BINDINGS LIST 


The annual Combined Indemnified Bindings List, long considered one of the most important and exclusive benefits of NSSRA membership, is available at no cost to NSSRA retail members only.

NSSRA provides to all retailers a special Boot/Binding Compatibility Notice. With the many boot-binding combinations available, the ASTM-International F27 Snow Ski Committee, which makes safety standards for snow sports equipment, has issued a notice advising customers and retailers of the risks associated with using boots and bindings that were not designed to be used together. To download this document, please click here.

NSSRA dues, which start at $99.00 annually, are a fraction of the value given the services and programs offered by NSSRA. Your dues are critical in allowing the Association to continue providing these services. In addition to exclusive publications like the NSSRA Retailer Compensation and Benefits Report and the annual Snow Sports Participation Report, NSSRA offers services to help you run your business. A complete listing of these services can be found below.

3 Major Takeaways from the 2021 FedEx and UPS Rate Increases


FedEx and UPS rates are going up in 2021, and it’s more important than ever that NSSRA members know how to mitigate the effect on their business. Here are a few things you should know about the changes to come:


  1.  FedEx and UPS small package rates are increasing an average of 4.9% - effective January 4, 2021 and December 27, 2020 respectively.

  2. Your actual costs will vary. Depending on the service you use and your package characteristics, you could see increases above or below the average.

  3. Many common surcharges are also increasing. On top of the base rates, you need to be aware of the charges that apply to your shipments and how they’ll affect your total costs.

NSSRA represents snow sports retailers at the semi-annual meetings of the ASTM F27 Committee on Snow Skiing. ASTM International, formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials, is one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations in the world. It develops standards, practices and guidelines for more than 130 areas. In particular, the F27 Committee is responsible for the guidelines that evolve into the shop practices specified by manufacturers in the technicians' manuals. NSSRA works to ensure that standards being developed by the Committee lead to procedures compatible with ski and snowboard shops' day-to-day operations.
