Have your mounting tech ignore the silver arrow on the ski and measure 8 cms back from true center. SOS: The suggested mounting point marked on the ski is 2. We recommend sticking to this point for a true all-mountain ski experience. La Nieve: There is a dimple on the side the ski, at the center of the side cut, that marks the mounting point. On our first generation La Neive skis, there is no marker indicating the mounting point on this ski; true center is found along the top of the Coalition logo in the middle of the ski.
We recommend aligning the ball of the foot with true center for best ski performance. Rafiki: The suggested mounting point is 6 cms behind true center.

Traditional Mounting Point When considering where to mount ski bindings, shop techs will look at where mid-sole marker on your ski boot will fall on your ski. To release the boot, take any weight off of the heel of the boot and push down on the heel lever.
The heel cup will then rotate upwards and release the heel of the ski boot. Ski bindings are designed to be relatively free of maintenance, unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer. However, it is always good to keep the bindings free of dirt, salt or rust etc, and to store them in a warm dry place. Avoid cleaning the bindings with soap or solvents, as this can remove the factory lubricant which is needed to keep the binding functioning properly.
Touring bindings are intended for both walking up the mountain and skiing back down. They have 2 different modes, one for walking up where the heel is not attached to the ski and the binding pivots from in front of the toe, and one for skiing down where the toe and heel are held as normal. There are several different systems that touring bindings can use, some systems work with normal ski boots and function mostly as described on this page, but other systems are quite different and require special boots.
As touring bindings are intended for going uphill they are often made to be as light as possible, and because of this they are not always as strong or as durable as normal alpine bindings are. The information here is for alpine skiing bindings. Bindings for other types of skiing can be quite different.

If jammed too tight, the boot will not release; if too loose, the boot will just slip out.
The technician will also check the ski brakes to see that they are the correct width for your skis and that they work properly.
The brake arms should lay flat or parallel with the ski when the boot is in the binding. When the binding is released, the brakes should angle down and back. Once a technician has adjusted your bindings to fit your boot, the next step is to adjust the DIN. On both the toe and heelpiece, the technician will rotate the screw to your DIN setting. DIN settings are visible on top of the binding toe and heelpiece. It refers to the force needed for a binding to release a boot in order to reduce the potential for or the severity of injury.
Remember those embarrassing questions the ski technician asked when you brought in your gear weight, height, skier type? The DIN uses your stats to arrive at a number to guide the binding release.
On your binding, that number is set on the toe and heelpiece. How do the DIN settings work? The lower the setting or number, the less force it takes for your binding to release. This is especially important when your body is going one direction and the skis another. Bindings that release can prevent torqueing knees in the wrong direction. For DIN, beginners and children use lower settings.
Hence, the bindings will release more easily. For adult beginning or intermediate skiers, the number may be bumped higher to accommodate the increased weight, somewhere between Otherwise, their weight alone would cause them to slide out of their bindings on every turn.
Advanced skiers will use even higher DIN settings, which take more force to release. Skiers who like speed and jumping off terrain park features might need to go with a higher setting of Racers, professional skiers and big mountains skiers use the highest settings, around Data source: Ellis Brigham.
Many ski shops will mount your bindings for free or at a discount if you buy bindings or skis from the shop. If you buy used skis then remounting may be something you need to do depending on how different your boot size is compared with the skis previous owner.
Typically you can adjust ski bindings one size larger or one size smaller without have to re-drill holes. Yes, if your child is moving up by one boot size, then you should be able to make the adjustment without remounting. In most cases, a skilled technician will be able to unplug the old holes and re-position your bindings to where they originally sat. If in doubt. If you want a more detailed run-through read this. While different ski techs have their own rule of thumb. They drilled various holes through ski and measured the pullout strength across a range of distances.
The found that drilling a new hole beyond 7mm from the existing hole, maintained maximum strength. Here is a link to their test if you want to read more.
