Hi, Ive got this ski in a 181. Never had skis mounted before. People seem to say that 1cm back is good, is this from the ' ^ ' mark on the sidewall? Does this mean that the center-point of my ski boot should be positioned at this point? Thanks

Shane, that really doesn't help at all. I've never heard the term "core center" before (and I've mounted LOTS of skis), although "chord center" is a typical term for determining where you'd want to mount your bindings (I refer to http://www.telemarktips.com/BindingMt2.html for excellent information on mounting telemark bindings). And what does "+6 from traditional" mean? +6 what? Centimeters? Inches? Fathoms? And what's traditional? Update: Wow, paint me pink and call me wrong. I just went to mount my P4s and noticed that the ski is marked "core center." I still have no idea what that means, since I've never heard that term before...so I guess my answer is really a question: What the hell is "core center"? Is it the same as chord center?

When they say one back, it means from core center. That's usually about +6 from traditional. But you definitely should take it to your local shop to get them to do it for you, and just tell them were you want to mount them.
