How did you accurately measure the narrowest part? Calipers? Pretty tricky to do -- I've tried it. My measurements end up with a band of an inch or so that more or less measures the same. Any tricks I should know?

I know it's black magic...but I took the center of the narrowest point..cause that point may be a few mm to cm wide.
THAT IS WHY....I love my Scizo's.....or ANY adjustable binding.
There are many skiers I feel that could benefit with the ability to AT LEAST experience a more forward binding.

The straighter the sidecut the more difficult it is to determine the "narrowest" point. Most of my skis have fairly deep sidecuts so I can almost "eye it up" just by looking at the ski (from the base side so that the graphics don't throw you off). I verify where I think the point is using digital calipers. Keep in mind that this is only a suggested starting point and you may want to go +/- 10mm (or maybe even 20mm) depending on your own preferences.

Thanks H-A. I will see if I can pick up a pair of digital calipers at some point. They would certainly be easier to use than the "analog" ones I have now.
In the meantime I have had my daughter's Watea's mounted with the Fischer Z-13 binding on a black Tyrolia 13mm plate (looks pretty sharp, I must say), and my wife's Head Mya 9's mounted with the Head PRD12 power rail binding. So both can be moved at will. Presently the Mya's are at the factory mark, and the Watea's are mounted 1 cm forward. Pending further snow time and feedback from the gals, I may move them eventually. But so far they are both loving the skis and how they perform, so all is well.
