Question about my skis

Hey guys so I recently picked a pair of 181 kartels and I'm quite liking them! Just have a question.
Maybe its because I haven't broken them in or I just need to get used them but I feel like I'm getting thrown in the backseat
idk probably might even be my skiing. Is it the fact that I need to get used to them, did anyone else feel like that? Would it help putting
the mount point back -2? I mean only have 2 days on them just wanted somebody's opinion.

Your bindings may have too high a ramp delta(heel higher than toe height) or your boots have too much forward lean. Both cause the “back seat” feeling.

Same bindings, boots and mount area as your previous skis?

Give the kartels to me, I’ll need to thoroughly test them for 4-5 seasons then I’ll let you know what’s up.

How would I know this is the case? I have look pivots at reccomended, Im 150 and have 100 flex boots. Been riding a salomon qst 106 for last couple times with wardens if that helps. If that is the case what can I do about it?

Just ride em for like 10 days. They’re rockered, mostly stiff skis that are freestyle oriented. A new ski takes more than just a few days to get used to

Neither of those bindings have high ramp delta so that’s not the problem.

I’m sure the issue is you’re used to being almost 8cm back from center on a much different ski, so it will just take some time to adjust to the more forward mount on the new skis.
