Where is the best place to mount bindings on the Line Blends 09/10 model. They would be intended for a 50/50 park/powder use.

I'd go -2.5. When I got mine mounted the first time, they mounted them at like -7 when I asked for -3. So then the holes didn't let them mount -3, so I got -2.5. From the small amount of pow I've skied with them they've been great, and they're decent for park, just a little heavy.

This is indeed very important. Ofcourse it ain't the easiest to ski switch in pow (also depends on how tall the ski's are) on the Blends, but if you're not planning to ski switch in pow or if you would get another BC specific freestyle ski, then I would indeed mount them differently. Too bad you don't have this years model, with more early rise.
-2/-2.5 sounds fine to me...

I'm mounted -3cm, without any problems. Somewhere around -2 or -3 would be killer, just scale it based on how much park skiing you're going to do versus powder versus skiing switch.

Good choice on the skis though.

It depends what powder your talking about...east coast mount them center cuz your never gonna see enough snow to need -2 like you would in the west coast. As stated -2 for west coast

Well, thats my dilemma with my Kung Fujas, they are mounted -2, great for pow and regular riding. Im going to buy a center mount pair of liberty lte for park...for me center mount in the park is necessary...youll be fine, but park will be way easier with center mount...


my two cents
