I have been given a very nice what appears to be a high end Connely ski. I however can not get up on it for the life of me. I have slalom skied many times before with skis ranging from 56" to 69" and could get up on all of them. After getting seriously frustrated, i looked at the bindings and noticed they are very far forward and far apart. I asked the guy who gave me the ski and he said that he had only been able to get up once on it and that is reason he gave it to me. He thought he was flat out to heavy for it. He is 225+ and i am 160 so this should not be the issue. Is there a general starting point on where the bindings should be mounted on a 65 or 67 ski?

Thanks
Grant
