Back father is better for riding over the whole mountain, further forward is better for rails and jumping.


Mount them a little forward, like +2,3 or 4. You probaly wont be able to tell the difference when you're skiing on them anyways. I think Gutt said that the team riders rode them anywhere from +2 to +4...

My Pistols were mounted 1 forward. There should be little marks above and below the arrow to indicate back or forward mounting. I work at Freds up in killington and rule of thumb is we never mount them anymore then +3 forward without a concent form cause it messes with the ski dynamics. Basically the range of -3...MID...+3 is where the ski will turn easily. Anything else and your starting to use the ski in ways it wasnt meant to be used
