I don't have enough research for best binding position for different people on my skis.
Current position is BOF at center of the running length -2 cm based on my boat size. Wish I could go further back but now that's required binding be reinstalled, will do it for next season.

no adjustment on the guardians? if not will have to based on mine.

I skied two of your models. I think your mounting location was just fine. Keep in mind that boot size (i.e. skier size) influence position on a demo binding. Smaller feet/skiers are going to be slightly further forward. So even in a demo binding it will be hard to give every skier every option. Mount them for average size/skier and just let the rest work itself out. You are making a kick-ass, small-scale, local product, don't get hung up on needing to give too many options.

So the real question is....when can I come down and build my skis with you?

no such a thing is over-thinking lol

what the distance between screws on guardians (side to side). This important. I want to make sure they go into Maple.

that's exactly what I'm talking about. binding Position worked well for everybody except me. I need little bit more further back.

Why I am the last to know?:slap: we need to talk. you got my number ?

All cleaned up and finished ready for binding. Pair on the right last year MR110 for comparison

Oh yes......

PM me when I can get down there for pick up.

If I bring some boots and binding do you have the means to mount?

Cannot wait to get these on steep soft snow!

Applied the final layer of topcoat today. Left one more step run skis through base sander for the first time.
for some reason every picture I make ski looks darker.
