Jim,

Not sure what "center of running surface" exactly means.  Is this the mid-point from where the tip and tail touch the snow? I assume there is no mark already scribed into the ski indicating this point.  So...it has to be measured...right? Taking this further, in measuring, I assume that the victim dons her boots, places same in binding on flat, hard surface, and the contact points to the floor at tip and tail are marked, then midpoint determined from there.  BOF is then marked on boot, binding adjusted until marks line up....am I getting this right?

As I write this, said skis are presently in high-velocity contact with some fresh snow (why aren't I out there too?).  But with your feedback on the above, I can check this out in the next couple of days. 

BTW, I quickly scanned through Realskiers site, but couldn't find a method for adjusting, such as you describe.  Some good background articles there on binding position, though.  I'll read them more thoroughly when I have more time.

BR,

Svend
