Default Ideas about Binding orientation for powder

I recently posted about a used "beginners board" I purchased for powder usage.
Just before my last trip, I put the bindings I had tried on it back onto my
other board, and installed a different set on it. In the process, I ended up
with my front foot angled forward more than before. I discovered that, because I
have my highbacks tilted "forward" this moved my knee forward, spreading my
knees farther, and incidentally moving my weight forward on the board. At lunch,
I rotated the front foot to be almost straight across the board. With this
change, I was much more comfortable, and felt that my weight was even further
back on the board, so it floated in the deep snow better. I suspect that
adjusting the back foot to point the toe more toward the back of the board would
move my weight on the board even more back for more lift, by moveing my back
knee toward the end of the board.
