I just got some Oakley line miners should I get hi pink or clear for a low light lens. I’ll use it for Midwest park laps at night and cloudy/ white out days in Colorado, California, and North Carolina. Also I got dynastar menace 98s as an all around ski for park and all mountain and the shop recommended a detune because they are new so I went for it so will this significantly hurt carving and all mountain capabilities? Last will the -7.75 mounting point be a problem in the park?
 
But you need to debate how often you’ll ride park. -7 back is pretty far for park. Detuned edges suck outside of the park too. So you’ll have to make a judgment call. How heavily did you detune the edges?

Im not really sure The guy at the ski shop did it and I haven’t picked them up yet. He recommended it because they are brand new. I am new to park will I have trouble learning with the mounting point?

Shops usually recommend detunes of the tips and tails because it helps skis release from being on edge, I’d be surprised if they recommended a detune underfoot. -7 is not optimal for park use but it’s not the worst thing in the world, most kids don’t learn on center mounts

I will ride park more than half the time because I live in Tennessee so I’ll probably be in Indiana every week and sometimes North Carolina which will be a mix of park and all mountain. Is a remount a good option or should I just leave it?

Oakley Pink is the standard.

I got to ski the Prizm clear last year when it was in proto and it beats out HI Pink for night riding. HI Pink is my every day lens and Prizm Clear is my night lens now. If you want one to rule them all go Pink like session said, but clear is the best night time/storm lens going
