i want a good ski for park that i could mount like -1cm back from true center that could also handle some powder and all mountain shredding. im like 5'9" 140 pounds. i already have some 2006 Rossi scratch fs's 167 mounted at the suggested modern mounting point which is pretty far back like 4cm from true center. should i just get a cheap pair of twins and center them or remount my scratches to like -1cm from center?

remount you scratches true centre and buy a pair of all mountain skis instead of buying another park ski.

does remounting hurt the ski at all or would it crack it or damage it?

remounting is the way to go it is cheaper and as long as u dont do it to many times it wont hurt the skis but i would plug the holes just to be on the safe side

you HAVE to plug the holes, if you dont water gets in there rots the core and you WILL snap your skis

New skis will cost you $500. A remount will cost you $30. Tough call.
