So I laugh at all these kids on ns crying about how there skis did not get mounted at core center like they wanted.  I took my old line skogen pros to the shop today to get mounted.  I fill out the form, and the tech asks me "do you want them center mounted?" and I say "no just mounted at reccomended".  There is only one line ont eh ski, the gold one with the numbers that shows the tech where to mount.  When I get home I just realize they are mounted like 3 or more cm behind that.  WTF

Before you come to conclusions, put your boots in the bindings and see if the mid sole of them is at the recommended mount. Looks can be deceiving depending on the type of bindings you have. Some bindings make them look mounted in a very different place than you think they are supposed to be.

all i was doing was getting my skis mounted at the shop, and my guy charged me less then 50% of their mounting price and ran it thru as an adjustment instead of a mount since it's way cheaper
