Wondering where people are mounting their AT bindings on the Asylums? I mounted mine on the recommended line, but feel like they are way too far forward (and compared to my regular alpine set up, they are at least 3 cm forward). Seems a shame to redrill them so soon, but I think I might have to. Wondering if anyone else has been mounting back a bit?

Keep them forward. That's how skis ride these days. The Asylums have an insanely fat shovel, so you don't have to worry about going over the handlebars- plus, your AT skiing, so that's not a concern anyway! Forward is good. It will keep you in a more aggressive position and you'll be more on top of your skis for landings, and bounding through powder. They might take some getting use to, but I'm sure you'll love the forward mount once you've gotten a better feel for it.
