since you're doing a majority of park and pipe - get em dead center....you can still ski em in pow, you'll just need to make sure to lean back....

dead center fuckin sucks. dont do it dude. it actually puts a longer length of ski behind your bindings than in front. it looks retarded, they ride like SHIT, and its pretty much pointless. toss those suckers on anywhere from 2-4 back. i find 2cm back is my prefered mount.

My ar6s are in the shop right now gettin mounted at 2 cm back. I ski maybe 60 park 40 other shit and am goin to CO for a month... if not for CO I prolly woulda gone 1 back or center, but I think 2 will be super fun for everythin

i like dead center, the only thing that sucks is if you ride pow your nose dives unless you like manual through it. I've only ridden ar5's dead center though, maybe they handle better than other skis, but they carve fine.
