Yeah, about 2.5 back or so. Draw a line on them or mark it with tape. This is the only way you know they're not going to fuck up. DON'T TRUST THEM TO DO IT RIGHT UNLESS YOU DO THIS.

I've worked in very well respected shops but have seen inexperienced guys fuck up mounts, even done it myself from carelessness. If you want to know it's going to be done properly, make every effort so that it's unlikely they can get it wrong.

ya but are you getting them mounted by sport chek or somethin like i cant trust them cause i went in there one day and asked for wax (to hot wax my skis, for any of you stupid people) and the guy gave me a 10 lecture about screwing up my skis by waxing them.WTF!!!!!!!

Now before i go on and on and on about them i always get my skis mounted by a ski shop, one thet only sells ski stuff and they care about what they do and they always do a good lob for $25 canadian.
