id go with center

if you arn't a diehard park rider but still enjoy it, just go like 3cm back from center, that way you have a little bit extra if you get some pow or something. The ski is not symmetrical so it doesn't need to be center mounted. So in short, yeah 3cm back from center.

I second this. I tend to use these guidelines:

dead nuts center - symmetrical skis only

1 cm back (from chord center) - 90% park, 10% all mountain

2-3cm back - 70/30

4-5cm back - 50/50

I know a lot of people who center mount asymmetrical skis. I don't like it but obviously people do it all the time.
