if u ride half and half then you wouldnt be interested in a true center mounted ski at all, so i would say core center cause its not really any worst in the park (and it could be better because its 100% preference)and its where the weight and sidecut is meant to be mounted at. if u think ull ski a little more park then move it up to like +9. its all ur choice cause the feel u like/want is all that matters

if you mount your public enemies true center the bindings will rip out because they arnt meant to be mounted like that..they have no metal under that spot of the ski. i mounted mine true center and the toe pieces ripped out.

true center is the middle of the ski, core center is the forward most point k2 recommends to mount on. as he said, goin past that risks going off the mounting plate which is bad. I'd go core center if I were you though, people complain about it being bad for all mountain skiing but I think its more fun, especially skiing switch on groomers and stuff. unless you live outwest or somethin

if you do half and half, and where thinking of going more then core center, you;'ll be happy with +7.5
