Always nice to have a pair of rock skis for when conditions are thin. If you are driving out at the start or end of the season, taking a second pair of skis is no big deal. If you can keep them, and as the damage can be repaired, with no effect on performance, you might as well buy a different pair of skis. Maybe some groomer skis that will be better if there is no powder, or some really fat skis just for powder.

My boards and skis get foam protectors taped in place for traveling by air.

Technicaly Pabs is right Tony in that the insurers can demand to retain the skis and if they pay you out there is nothing you can do about keeping them.

The insurers dont have them, the retailer does. I will hope they will send them back to me, and my question was if the retailer has them, shouldnt they send them back anyway seeing as its now in the hands of insurers?

As for why would I want to keep them, they'd look nice on the wall of the summer house in my NEW house.....or make a good 2nd pair to use when conditions arent great as had been suggested, if they can be repaired to a useable standard.

In the meantime, the retailer is hanging on to them to fit the existing bindings to the new ones, assuming all goes to plan. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the bindings and nothing warrants replacing them.
