Ski alignment- weight on the sled necessary

[02ViperMody44]

Going to be aligning my skis, is it necessary to have "your" weight equivalent on the sled when doing this or is it not necessary? On the two-stroke side for alignment BeTheViper recommends this, but don't know if that was more of an issue w/ the old trailing arm set-ups versus the A-Arm front ends. Thanks

its best to do it with someone sitting on it but not an absolutey needed. I have someone sit on mine when i align it FWIW
