Thoughts on binding positions for Candide 2.0, if anyone is currently riding this ski, what are your preferences? Looking at getting my bindings mounted dead centre as I ski alot of snowdome as I'm from the UK.

you have no reason to not centre mount them, they're symmetrical.

Symmetrical in dimensions. Not sidecut placement or rocker profile.

I would go at the Candide line. thats the center of the camber and side cut. Mounting the ski at center will put you over the center of the camber.

He's skiing indoors though. Having a balanced swing weight and better switch performance is gonna be much more important

-2 vs center isn't going to change the swing weight much. It will however change the ride of the ski quite a bit.
