Alright, so first off, maybe i should have made it clearer...but...
I got p12s for xmas, so i was happy...i went to mount them at comors, and asked the nice lady to mount them 1 inch forward of center...

so, i get them back, and, lo and behold, they mounted them according to the center mark on the ski....

good thing i had had a little to drink before i picked them up, because i didnt notice till the next day riding, and i was like 'Oh, shit...'

so, i know its not their fault, but mine cuz i probably didnt make it clear enough, but still...i asked!!
in closing, my skis had been mounted already before this, would it be a bad idea to have them remounted again so that they are where i wanted, or will i fuck the core even more than it already is?

thanks for reading.

same thing happened with my fujatives, except i never really told them where to mount them so they mounted them way the fuck back like on the tips so i had them remounted and they said it wouldnt really weaken the skis unless you remounted them more than twice

talk to a goodi tech at a good shop, everyone ive talked to says 3 is the magic number, or if you care that much call the manufacturer
