does anyone know where to find mounting points on the 06/07 180 msp cause i cant find them but on my old msps (04/05 i think) it shows a freeride point and a center point.

dont go by the mounting points on skis, they are all different, theyre is no standard for a mounting line on a ski, other than maybe core center, but find a spot you like and mount it there, like -2, or -4 or sumthin

Actually the MSP is being made by Elan in Slovenia, it's the EHP and VCT that are being made in Tunisia.

As far as mounting points are concerned I believe there is a little mark on the new MSPs. They realized that the ski skis way better further back so the new line is about 2cm or so behind last years freeride line and is a good place to mount.

then in that case what matters more to you, Crud busting all mountain and powder performance or skiing switch? If you are using it for a serious all mountain tool than measure to the exact middle of the ski including tip and tail and mount between 7-10cm back from there. If you are buying this stiff of a ski for switch skiing you are retawded, but in that case go to 4-6cm behind center. I have skied them at 6cm back and at 8cm back and much preferred 8.

And nomen, you say all of your MSPs have Tunisia stickers on them that is interesting. That surprises me that they would have their cheap skis built in the more legit factory and their nice skis built in Tunisia. The 193s were all made with camber and sent back to be relaid up flat. 3 trip across the pond for every 193 that is sad, they're more traveled than I before ever they are mounted.

they also changed the sidecut of the ski, so the points would also be different because of that
