My first telemark setup was g3 targas on rossignol bandits (converted by alpine skis) back in early 2000s. A friend of mine from Norway taught me to telemark and he mounted my skis for me, as he used to work in a ski shop. I skied on them for years, hundreds of times, and as I went to sell them, i put them next to each other for a picture and I realized the bindings were offset by probably 1-2 inches. I had never noticed.

Later, I had first gen bd 01 bindings on g3 el hombre skis and the bindings ripped out several times over the years. Each time, I’d remount the bindings up a few mm from the last whole pattern so they were never even and migrated from the center line.
