In the image below you can see the little marking on the jig. When you are adjusting the jig to the length of the ski boot, you want that marking to line up with the mid sole marking on the binding jig. In the image below you can see a little line in raised plastic on the boot, that's the boots midsole. We also want to make sure that we're drilling the toe and heel piece in the right spots for you specific boot. Proper drilling is the reason we use these things we call jigs, you don't want to miss-drill and you don't want to drill through the ski (that would suck). In the image below you can see what they look like. We buy jigs from the manufacturer at a couple hundred bucks a piece. When we drill into a ski we don't do it free hand and we don't do it with a paper template either. System skis with integrated bindings are easier to mount or maybe I should say harder to screw up because there isn't any drilling. We don't do this because it's fun and we like to hear ourselves talk we do this because your safety is important. If you've noticed when you pick your skis up after an adjust or mount the tech or shop kid always goes over the bindings with you and shows you that everything is in working order. Mounting your bindings properly is very important. It's pretty easy when you do it everyday and you have the proper tools to do so.
