haha ty dude, im 13 and 5'3", i can stillg et away with 149s. yeh i was really thinking about getting them remounted and i think i may take them in later this week. It really feels like im swinging my fronts around, not my skis...Will this terribly effect my regular mountain skiing? I dont wanna struggle on the double blacks and stuff when i still have to ski wit my dad. He doesn't go in the terrain parks cus he races, so some times i have to go on the black and such. I can handle em, but i dont know how much it will change if i get them remounted. If i do, how far up should i get em up, i want em a bit farther back from center mounted.

? i rather not spend all my time just trying to maneuver my ski and not be able to actually enjoy myself. bottom line while i can still pull it off, im gunna by junior skis cus they cheaper and easy to mess around with. And thats beside the point, im looking for advice for where i should mount my bindings.

yeah im pretty sure ive decided to move em up, but now my dad is being a bitch and saying it can be done once i get the money to do it......Since i dont live on the hill its alot more expensive here (100 dollars) for mounting..... He is used to paying a fraction of that so i have to pursuade him to get them remounted.

phone around to some ski and snowboard shops. if your paying 100 dollars to get your gear mounted your being ripped off big time.

Get those remounted. Chances are the shop put them too far back.

sorry to revive an old thread but....

My PEs are mounted similar to the pics in this original post and i'm wondering if it really affects your park skiing. i can 3 fine but i cant slide for shit. I figured it was probably just because i'm not that good. but could the mounting be a factor as well?

they look fine from the front, but too short in the back; probably cause it's a kid's ski.

Yeah true that......but when i look a where the graphics end, it really looks like they were badly mounted by the first place. I would bring back to my shop and bitch for sure.

it looks like you can see the recommended mounting line and its rite under the toe of the binding...meaning thats realllly screwwed up...anyone else see that?

you shoulda just got some regular skis, 149 is mad short for a 5'3" kid. 5'3" is 160cm, so a 159 would have been perfect for you, or even a 165ish ski thats light, 149 is much to short, unless you are a beginer skier or a vagina that cant move around an extra couple lbs.
