A little background- I'm 6'1 190, stopped boarding and starting skiing mid last season with some standard ski's nothing spectacular. Took a trip out west started playing around in the parks and decided I love the adrenaline rush of flying through the air.. any way point to this story is on the off season I purchased k2 pe's and some rossignol axial 120's hopefully to help me progress and still give me some all mountain ability.

So basically where would you recommend I get my ski's mounted, I would say my projected skiing will be 60% park 40% all mountain oh and I live on the east coast so powder is rare but hey... thanks to every1, and +k to helpful responses.
 
i would say.... 3 back from center or so. if i remember correctly the PE reccomended mounting line is super far back. so mount somewhere between there and center. the more park you wanna do the closer to center
 
yeah that particular ski does not do very well being mounted at dead center. your best bet would be to measure out dead center on the ski and then measure 4 to 6 centimeters back from that. the skis won't be centered, but they'll ski switch a ton better than at the suggested point and you really won't be sacrificing any of the ski's all mountain performance.
 
i mounted mine +3 from recommended (they farthest back) and they kinda suck in the park. no pop from the tails. i'd mount at least +6 or so.
 
True centre is +12.5 on the scale.

Core centre is +7.5 on the scale, so 5 back from true centre.

Go +9.5 to +10.5 (2 to 3 back of true).
 
core center is exactly that, the center of the core. (I think) true center is the literal center of the ski
 
That is the stupidest post!

I'm pretty sure everyone on here could work out 12.5 - 7.5 to equal 5!

So obviously i didn't want to know that.
