    Bro Boot Center Mounting??

    Anyone measured (or willing to measure) their Bros to see where the factory boot center mark is?

    I know most folks ski at boot center +/- 4mm (some pow hounds ski back 1.5cm). I got all that from search function, but the Bros I skied had no markings that I could find, so I am curious where the factory mark should be.

    FYI, I measured where my boot center was on these skis and it was 83cm from tail and 104.5cm from tip (measured with tape straight and not following the ski contour).
    I think that should put me a bit behind center (as the binders were mounted for a slightly smaller boot) but I am curious how far back I was.

    BroModels rock, and I need to know where I was skiing so I can be equally happy on my new pair.

    Dont they have a mark on the middle of the top sheet around the center?

    31 1/4 from tail to center for powder

    32 1/2 for all mountain on my SUPER softs prototypes.

    the newones that just arrived are about the same, but differnt tails I think

    They have a line on the topsheet which is the suggested boot center mark.

    As I said, no markings on topsheet (early production Fir cores), otherwise I think I coulda figgured this out.

    So to speak the same numberscale, me being 83cm from tail equates to 32 2/3 inches, which actually puts me way forward of your powder setting and about the same as your all mountain setting. I did have some minor tip dives, but overall did not feel like I had to ski in the backseat to keep them up. Mostly I attributed the tip dive issues to me needing to adjust to the shorter length.

    Verrry interesting.

    What is the current boot center mark on Bros (is that the "all mountain" 32 1/2 inches?) and has it changed any from initial suggestions?

    40- 5/8" from center of ski tip straight back, no bends in tape.
