At least for me, I get my skis mounted wherever the shop or guy I bought them from had them, and then I go ski.  I don't think I've ever run into an intermediate in person who spends time fiddling with binding delta or mount location.
I just don't feel like a degree here or there makes that much of a difference.
....... by a degree or two, or even my lateral alignment.  I still need to learn how to ski..
Dan:
Yes you have (run into an intermediate in person who fiddles with that stuff).  Lynn is adamant about BOF over CRS for her bindings, and requested that we convert to Tyrolia Railflex so she could further experiment with ski control, and is seriously considering converting to HA's new way.  And me too.
A degree in lateral alignment can be a lot.  If you need it, there is night and day difference when they stick a shim under your boots to validate what their eyes are seeing.  My guess is that Glenn long ago looked at your skiing and felt that your alignment wasn't a problem.
I think you ought to make time for a Harb camp -- I think you would love it.
I wonder if there are still openings in the "Bushwacka private with Harald" group?
