i got my chronics at -2 from center. even though recommended is at -6 from center. everyone ive talked to say its not that bad for the ski. the flex of the skis at high speeds will be affected but the life of the ski not so much

3 sets of holes should be the limit for skis. Epoxy old holes and you will be fine

Affects resale value, not much on how the ski preforms.

Eh people say 3 is the max but I can easily get four.  You just have to know what your doing and getting yourself into.  I wouldn't trust a shop going over 3 though.

Yeah a big problem is inexperienced shop techs.  That's why always prefer to do my mounts myself.  But if you don't know what you are doing don't do it
