A thought on finding the BOF mark.? Try standing in your binding in bare feet with the heel piece closed (as if the boot were clamped down).? If you center your foot between the bindings then you should have a pretty good feel for where your foot would be in the boot.

Try it and let me know how close an approximation that is.

The method to find the center of running surface (according to Peter Keelty) is to press the bases of the skis together and measure from the point where the bases touch in the front to the same point in the back.? (Center of Running Surface is that part of the ski in touch with the snow when the ski is flat?)

Jim and Svend - good comments and agreed.? Much of my previous post was just making fun of my "anal" qualities as Freud would say.? Now I know that this will encourage input from our other forum members. >:D

I have done the Keely method but have found that it pretty much ends up in the same place as my method, and mine is faster/easier.
