Monoski Aficionados... mounting question

[JayPowHound]

Thanks to help with pickup and shipping from huckster989 I am the proud new owner of a sweet Dynastar monoski!!

I had huckster pull the bindings it came with to make shipping across the country more affordable, so now my plan is to mount my own fucking monoski.

This will be my first monoski mount (shocker I'm sure..) The ski is nicely marked with lines for my templates, but I am confused about one aspect..

Each binding has a center line marked, both at the heel and the toe. Problem is, the toe center lines are 5mm farther apart than the heel lines.

Is this thing really intended to be mounted duck footed with my toes facing out?

I have never skied one before, maybe this is the way things are.. just seems strange, so I wanted to confirm before I drill.

Do you mono? Did you mount your own fucking mono? Is it duck footed??


Binding area


Heel center lines. 115 mm apart


Toe center lines. 120 mm apart






My calipers need a battery, and my pictures are uploaded through the app. I know these things are not ideal, but the question remains the same.

I don't have an answer for your question, but I found this on the internet:

Now I have a sudden URGE to start monoskiing.

I think mine is like that as well. It's been a while since I mounted it though. Also the toes of your boots are probably a little wider than the heels of your boots. Might need to be mounted that way to fit everything. Talking out of my ass now, I feel the turn initiation on a mono ski is easier with a duck foot mount opening your hips up.
For a little unsolicited advice, the learning curve is pretty steep and you are going to do a lot of hip checking. Wait for a warm day with some slushy snow, buy hip pads or both. You'll thank me later. Carving doesn't really happen on mine with the pintail shape. It's mostly smearing turns. The pintail shape also means at a certain point the tail wants to come around pretty fast. Unless you plan on skiing everything switch to the road, keeping pointed down the fall line than more than you might want to helps with not washing out the tail.
Post up if you have more questions and I'll do my best to check this thread.

The learning curve is far from steep. Yes, this wider mount in th he toes is better. As you've noticed it is correct. Start on a slightly steeper blue run. Always think "knees together" as soon as you start to get out of control think "knees together". It's easy you'll be fine.

Is the “Les 4000” related to the Lesbostrap 9000?

You'll probably need a Neon Nevica one piece also...headband mandatory
