Where should I mount them? I ski 95% park and will 1 cm back from center affect park performance and will that 1 cm back help with all mountain?
 
I’ve ski park on k2 marksman at -1.5cm from center I actually find it complements the ski rly nicely I think going up woulda made them feel weird. Never skied a On3p yet alone a Kartel/Jeffery so I hope that info helps
 
ON3P recommends mounting them at recommended, so -4.5ish, or within a +/- 2cm range. So going forward 2cm and mount at -2.5 could be the ticket for what you are after.

If you want to mount them more centered than that, then you could perhaps reconsider the model of choice and get Magnus96s or 102s instead.

yeah, you'll get a lot of "I mounted my skis at +alot/centered and it was fine/brilliant there" type comments, but the flex profile and sidecut of a ski are both designed around a specific mount point range and will work best there. If you are going to deviate significantly from that range (like center mounting a pair of Jeffreys or Kartels) then you are prob on the wrong ski, regardless of what X number of people commenting based on experiences from completely different designs/skis will tell you ;)

So my recommendation is go -2.5 from center to make them even better for park skiing, do not overthink it - they will be brilliant there both in the park and around the mountain :)

Yeah I probably will mount them 2.5 back back cause 3.5 is true center on the 171cm. I only bought the kartel cause they were apart of the factory blem sale so they were cheap asf and I read that they were great for park and a but of all mountain.

yeah like the other dude said, don't overthink it, and when in doubt, go recommended or really close, especially with a company like ON3P. also those skis are easily some of the most popular skis on this site for years now for what you described, you should be hyped dog
