Hi all

First of all, sorry about the spelling/grammar, but I am danish and I am not spending time on looking every single word up, so bear with me. Hope you understand what I am writing.

Bought a pair of Bacons (http://cdn.epicski.com/3/31/265x265px-LS-31a4f171_1188960425_12Linebacon.jpg) in the end of last season, and just bought a Salomon STH Driver binding, but I have not mounted them yet, because I am in doubt of where to place them? This i my first offpist/all mountain ski, and I have only tried skiing for 3 weeks, never offpist. I have a ski for onpist driving (Atomic D2 VF 75), so the Bacon is only for offpist driving, and maybe jumping round a little bit...

I belive Line recommends to place the bindings at center, as the ski has "true flex", but I will mainly use them offpist, and is therefor considering placing the bindings a little back from center... Maybe 5-8 cm.


What is your experience/recommendation?

Thanks in advance

Whatever you do, don't put them on the bottom.
