I've got a pair of old 176 Scratch BC's that i've re mounted at true centre, and spray painted. They look dope, and ride really well in the park and switch.

Obviously by remounting them, i lost a lot of versatility for riding deeper snow, but they're now a super fun park ski.

please explain to me how going more forward is "sweeter" for pow other then riding pow switch.

i prefer skis at about +2 or even +3 for pow. The xtra tail and more forward weight makes pow skiing easier and funner. plus there still got in park (not that it matters on a pow ski though)

^the more forward mounted your ski is the less the ski will float and the harder it is to ski pow

what where your old skis.

cause generally there reaches a point where it makes your tips dive more than usual. and you get less float.

if you ride alot of powder, you don;t want to go "too" far forward with a dedicated powder ski.

when you say +1 or +2, what are you referring to exactly?
