Re: mounting point of telebindings

My understanding and my experience is that mounting the telemark binding
forward of the manufacturer's recommendation is old advice and is not
applicable to modern skis with a lot of side cut.  It also is not applicable
to telebindings that are "active" and naturally tend to increase forward
loading, even when mounted at the balance point.

I have no experience with either the StormRider XL or the Bulldog binding.
But, the Stokli ski is not designed as a telemark ski and the Bulldog is
just an evolution of a three pin binding and has no "active" characteristic.
It seems to me that these are a mismatch.   That specific combination may
not be addressed by either the "old" rules or the "new."
