Absolutely! It's really easy (unless your skis are ANCIENT) It's not easy to do by yourself if you have no experience, but if you take them to a ski shop, the people there will happily help you Also, make sure you ask them to fill in the old screw holes from your old bindings. If not, snow/water can get in there and make your skis swell.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
