I can't remember if the link was on chocky or not, but they put pressure pads in some dude's boots - someone considered top class telemark skier. the most weight he had at any point on his back foot was 37%. Good luck with your 50-50. I think the point is you need a lot of pressure on the back so that the ski doesn't just skid along as you mentioned.
