Yes I do play with the Power Rail. I'm currently 8 mm forward on the Progressor's, but at 0 on the Ski Logik's, but we also need to remember that the boot center mounting point isn't the same for all skis. Line some equal length skis from different manufacturers up against the wall sometime and see if the recommended mounting points differ.
My real point was different. As part of Diana trying to get me out of the back seat, one of the things I began to feel and use as an external feedback was which part of the ski felt like the center of resistance from the snow. I could, at times, feel like it was half way up the front of the ski, she had me trying to see if I could get it even farther forward on the ski. I was surprised I could feel this difference, and was wondering whether this related to JBotti and others comments about "learning how to bend a ski".
Example. if you come to a hockey stop, where is most of the pressure/resistance from the snow. Are you balanced and skidding on the center of the ski, or on the tail of the ski, or can you get pressure forward and skid on the front of the ski. And this also ties in to the NE-PMTS gathering where pressure management by dynamic balance on the ski was being talked about. [size=78%]Of course, the guys talking about it were racers, so I'm not sure how much it even applies to me.[/size]
