UPDATE: Here are the pics to compare the Maries and Novas...

As I stated in this thread, it was so crazy I ended up not even bringing up the whole debate of where to have the bindings mounted.

But it looks like they went about 1/2 cm forward from the midsole boot line +/-. Which I think puts it in the ballpark of where we were talking about, given my somewhat inaccurate estimations.

The only complaint I have about the experience is for some reason, they set my DIN low. It should have been around 5.25 and they set it close to 4.

Not sure why. It's around 5 on my Novas, and I got the 5.25 from this site so I don't know what happened there. I didn't notice until I got home either.

Skis and bindings are very light. Brian was quite surprised by that. He told me I should just sell the Novas now as the Maries are a much better ski. But hey, a girl needs some variety, right?
