Way to man up and center mount those suckers
3
To me it looks like they're mounted at the recommended spot, it's only 2 cm behind true center on these skis.
2
yeah they are at the recommended spot.. I usually do center mount but I heard with the opus' they should be mounted w/ boot placed at the marking because of they way they are designed. Duno how true that is but I don't want to go against Mr. Pollard!

pls excuse my ignorance, what does center mounting skies have to do with manning up?

Damn those are pretty. Have you used the FKS before? I've been thinking about remounting my Hellbents.

I bought em used and got my first run in a couple days ago. They were pretty damn good, I have them set at 8DIN but ill probably move it to 12 or 13. Felt real nice and solid

I had heard that they seem very close to the ski, like there's almost nothing between the boot and the wood. The guys I know who have skied them swear that you can feel the ski flex better than with any other binding. Plus, they look light, which is great for a big fat ski.

Yep I'd agree with that for sure, you get good transfer and really good feel of the ski

FKS are the best alpine binders in the world.

Excellent choice amigo. Where are you based at? Would love to get some turns in with a fellow Opus rider.

I'm in washington area, skiing schweitzer, white pass, crystal, timberline/mt hood, etc etc. I'll be sure to let you know if I'm coming down to colorado for some legendary skiing.

I travel a lot to ski. I base near Denver, but drive where I need to to find the pow. Don't be surprised if you get a pm one day seeking some local knowledge :)

For sure man, I'm the same way!
