Don't wanna go too off topic, but are you liking the Raptors so far? I've drank the "I want all my inbounds gear to be as heavy as possible" kool-aid and want to give them a tryQuote:

Just mounted up and itching to break out the newest addition.. 10X is hopelessly bloated but could not resist

DWs arrived yesterday and call me delusional, but even unmounted they just feel like they're going to be 'the ones' for how I ski....waist, flex, shape....and that extra camber nom nom.
Got my Spring ‘23 orders mounted up. Solved the ‘which binding for the Countach’s?’ question. Really excited for my 14 yo daughter to get on her Sierra’s.

got a few low angle thicc pow laps in on the 186 ghost trains when bachelor opened saturday. awesome float characteristics, better than expected. can't wait to break em out again.
Fam can't go five minutes without a question or comment on the Meridians...or Nanners for that matterQuote:

Makes sense. I'm not much of a spinner and sometimes feel too much tail if things are too forward...was also looking at the Countach for ref. - has anyone tried/noticed much meaningful difference at say -1 from the line? I'm fine to go with on the line but just wondering in case there's an extra gram of joy to be squeezed out.
I never spin and I loved the DW on the line. My CT is also on the line and has taken the award for my favorite moment ski. Lots of RD goes into the mount points so that’s where I put it.Quote:

Remounted at rec and fell in love. These are all for alpine bindings.
I have a dedicated DW/outlaw setup and it’s at rec and has taken my tele quiver to a skin of one.
**tldr**
Can strongly recommend not going forward of the rec line, maybe back if you’re a very directional skier. If you want to move the mount around outside of what is tried and true then you’re probably looking at the wrong ski.
