Excellent points guys...Mike....I think the ole rule "know theyself" truly applies.
 It took me a number of years to really find my center point in my boots..even making micro adjustments at the beginning of this season.

That's why I focus on finding that "neutral" stance in my ski boots from which you have the best postion to command fore/aft input to the skis.

In my case, i needed to move my bindings to achieve that goal. Once there, works for all conditions.

My point when demoing skis is that many skiers are not quite tuned into their balance point in their boots or perhaps they like their current stance as other mitigating factors like hand placement or arm movement, turning, twisting, steering, rotating all have affect on how the skier motors down the mountain. In all those cases, each rider would have a better demo experience if they understood the affect of the binding location has on that ski. That demo could have a completely different performance no matter what ski style or balance point you have with a 10-15mm binding change fore or aft.

But I agree that having an adjustable binding that allows the rider to make those decisions is brillant and certainly having a ski without lots of holes for resale....is a huge plus.

Best, g
