Got this last February, was my only ski in Utah through April. Not everybody is sold on the S7. Skis rather short, but for what it is, it's a blast. I mounted at recommended line (86cm from tail). Mancini art much nicer than the other S7s, same ski.

Traded my gotama's in for the 188 mancini pro. Much better all around. I alpine mounted, jesters, center of the black line, which is @ 2" back of center overall. Works well for me in the deep and in the not so much. Had 30" of fresh @ Breck, and had absolute control. Not too sure where to mount tele. However, these skis rock alpine style!

Yes, I mounted at the recommended. This version has only one line, which correspond to "zero" on the alpine version, which is 86 cm straight pull from tail on the 188. Wouldn't want any further back than that. This kind of rockered shape needs to be closer to true center with more tail than traditional alpine mounts are used to. By the way, the physical length Is actually closer to 184 tip to tail.

I bought the Mancini's with Fritschi's already mounted dead center on the tele mount point. I haven't compared to the alpine S7 mounting points. Is this where you mounted your alpine bindings? If so, how are they treating you. Alt mount suggestions?
