3-pin binding location Karhu Lookout
Noted on a used pair of Lookout skis that the 3-pin binding is located so
that the pins are about 1-1/2" forward of CG. I know that mounting bindings a little forward helps turning performance, but I always thought it should be 1-2cm max. Is this too much of a good thing (with this ski in particular)? Sorry about the newbie ques... just moving from skinny woodies to newfangled (i.e. already obsolete) gear! thx a |

If it were me, I'd mount those skis "pins on balance" point, since they're more for covering ground than making turns. Often Chord Center and balance point are nearly the same spot. On much much beefier skis with plastic boots I've been trying mounts WAY in front of chord center and I like it a lot, but I'm not trying to kick'n'glide on those skis. _ Booker C.
