I agree with Ron and would add, try this in the warmth and sanctity of your home first so you get a feel for how the binding moves and how much pressure it takes to move it. You do not have to entirely remove the screw, just back far enough so the binding will slide. Once in place, just snug down the screw and keep a quarter in your ski pants.

Moving the binding forward moves your center mass forward which allows more force to be applied to the tips of the skis for turn initiaition with less effort.

When you move the binding forward, if you find the tails are washing out rather than holding the carved line, move them back.

Also, in the back position, on a powder or big narly crud day, the tips will float better.

Let us know what you find with your adjustments.

Best,
Gary
