Rossi soul 7 bindings remount

IonaSkiHey Guys - so I’m getting my 15/16 172cm soul 7s remounted with marker squire bindings due to new boot compatibility issues with the old bindings. I’ve been told by the ski shop I need my new bindings to either be mounted 3cm forward of 5.5cm back from the old binding location (ski recommended location).

Ive never thought much about binding location, but would I be correct in assuming a 5.5cm change back would make the ski feel completely different?! Even 3cm forward sounds like a significant change to me...

Im 5’5” and 133lbs, don’t ski park and generally can be found mucking around in moguls or pow.

I assume I’m best going for 3cm forward but how significantly will it destabilise the ski when skiing fast? Any advice would be much appreciated thanks!

mystery3Seriously, nobody here rides thes skis and almost everyone here would probably advise you mount them forward from recommended on the first mount.

How far back from length center is the recommended point on that ski?

Greg_KThis doesn’t make sense as the new binding holes only have to be about 8mm(less than 1 cm) away from the old holes after sealing them and if they are different bindings, hole overlap is usually even less of a problem.

The installer can even mount the heel forward or back of the normal position(plus or minus 1 cm) in order to avoid hole overlap on the heel and then just slide the heel forward or back on the track to fit your boot.

I’m sure a more qualified tech will be able to mount your boots closer(within a cm or so) to the old position. 3-5cm is way too much of a change.
