Mounting problem?

I have a pair of anthems with PX14's that I bought in the beginning of the season. today for whatever reason I happened to notice that it seems like my bindings are mounted a bit over to one side of the ski.
Example:

| 1 | | 1 |
| 1 | | 1 |
| 1 | | 1 |
| 1 | | 1 |
| 1 | | 1 |
| 1 | | 1 |
| 1 | | 1 |
| 1 | | 1 |
| 1 | | 1 |
| 1 | | 1 |
| 1 | | 1 |
| 1 | | 1 |


outer lines are ski edges, inner 1's are binding line

Is this normal? I used a ruler to check and each ski is mounted to the inside (or outside) about 1/8in off

Well technically speaking, they shouldn't be off. They should be square on the ski. Realistically, you wont notice it. Some say that mounting with a bit of a duck-footed stance can actually improve carving and edge to edge quickness, not that it means anything to 99.5% of NSers.

Its difficult from your diagram but the binding should be mounted down the center line if it is off you will notice one ski feels squirmy and if mounted too close to the sidewall can cause issues there.  now on to duck foot mounting... many ski boots now come with some form of what was designed by fischer called soma technology the rotation on the boot to a toe out position to give a much more natural flex.

thanks guys. Yeah the '1's' got shoved center when I posted, they are suppose to be over to one edge more. And thats basically the issue, the skis have felt kind of weird and I could never figure out what it was. I mean its not like they are useless, but there were alot of times where I just didn't feel like I was completely sure footed

Idk I took a caliper to them and none of the measurements make any logical sense, it just seems like a pour mounting job.
Both skis are mounted with the bindings 1/6 to 1/4 to the left of center
