Armada ARV mounting position help

chunk.

Member
I'm purchasing a pair of 2013 Armada ARVs 185cm tomorrow and I was wondering where I should mount them. I ski about 50-50 in the park and all mountain. Recommended is -7 from true center I believe. Any suggestions as to where I should mount at? I was thinking +3 from recommended. I'm 6'3" and 280 if it helps.
 
Also, I'm an advanced all mountain skier and I don't generally hit rails in the park if this helps too.
 
I had mine mounted at -2 from dead center, not sure how much in front that is from recommendend, I'm sure your shop could help if they know what they are doing... I was 130-145 pounds and 5'10 and was on the 175, I also am a 50/50 park/all mountain skier. If you're not hitting rails you could probably go back a little more
 
How often are you switch? Go too far back and skiing backwards is going to feel funny. I liked -2cm back from true center on my arv's. Kept them still slightly directional with super buttery tips without feeling all that bad skiing switch.

Not too terribly much as of now. I'm planning on being able to throw 1's, 3's, and 5's comfortably next year so ill be doing a lot more switch. I had foot surgery two weeks before anywhere in the midwest opened up so i haven't yet skiedand i wont be able to ski until really late season or next year so I'm planning on doing a lot on the tramps/making a little summer rail setup so next season I'll be half way decent in the park and riding switch a lot more so I'm stuck between the -2/-4 from center range.
