help with mounting an alpine binding

Looked all over the net, with no luck on exactly how to do this. I have
a Volant Chubb powder ski and Marker 9.1 bindings. I would like to
mount these bindings on the skiis. The ski has only a boot-toe marking.
I have a few questions:

1/ Should i mount using the boot-toe or boot-center method?
2/ What exactly is the boot toe? The absolute front of the plastic boot
or some other point on the boot toe?
3/ The toe piece of the Marker binding has a mark a little in front of
the toe retention wings - what is this? should this line up with the
boot-toe marking on the ski?

any answers would be greatly appreciated.

If you have to ask, you shouldn't be trying to do it yourself. I'm sorry if
this sounds sarcastic, but trying to mount your own bindings is one of the
few things a do it yourself type person really should have done by a shop.

A ski shop will have a jig for the binding in question so that the binding
will be held in exactly the right place on the ski. Ski shops also have the
equipent to perform a release test on the binding to make sure that it is
functioning properly and releasing only when it should release.

None of this is rocket science, but doing it wrong can get you hurt, and
doing it right is a lot easier with the right tools and a certain amount of
training.
