Hi folks. This subject has come up here and there, but I don't think it has ever been empirically resolved so thought it deserved its own thread.
A number of folks have asked about the optimal mount point for this ski, with the default answer being "on the line is fine." However, at least a few (@givethepigeye) have found the ski performs better at about 10mm behind the line. But I'm concerned this is a figment of my imagination, or variable based on snow conditions or tired legs.
The reason I ask now is that I'm pretty close to mounting (non-demo) bindings and was hoping some of you Enforcer owners with demo bindings might compare on the line with behind the line and share your thoughts. Seemed to really make the ski come alive - in other words, it's noticeable.
I'm talking about the 185.
In case it matters: 6'2", 175#, advanced, driver, Bozeman, MT.
Worth mentioning that I put laid Enforcers side-by-side with the 15/16 186 Bonafides. Remarkable how similar they are from a shape perspective. Anyway, the mount point on the Bones looked to be right about 1cm behind the Enforcer's. Interesting.
Thanks a ton! I plan on renting them this Thursday to A/B on the line vs. 1cm behind the line, but would love to hear some collective wisdom before I do something silly or waste a perfectly good ski day futzing around.
