if you have them remounted they drill more holes wich is bad in the long run!

You're usually fine with 2-3 mountings, after that i think it starts hurting the ski. If its that big of a deal to you then I would get them remounted.

its really not a big deal. having them a few cm back will be a huge help on the rest of the mountain

if you really do 95% park I would consider asking them for new skis or asking for a remount, since those bastards screwed up =), I always get my skis within at least 3,4 cm from True center, it just really makes a difference in terms of balance and stability for me when I go for larger spins ( 7 and up), and when you land switch you feel more balanced. but ya that's just my opinion, maybe it's not like that for everyone

at the risk of sounding like a noob... whats the difference between core and true center? Shouldnt the core be in the center of the ski? When ever I get skis mounted I just ask for them to be center mounted... I have never specified true or core.

Fujas are meant to be at core center man. I have mine there and I wouldnt have them anywhere else.

alright, i always get confused with this. what is the diffence (not literally) between all the different mounts? how do they help? o know obviously the more centered is better for park and the far back isn't so much but what's with the center and core and whatnot?

Center= exact center of the ski by literaly measuring it (also called true center)
Core= the exact center of the dimensions of the ski (say a ski with 114-84-114 dimensions, the center would also be core center cuz the dimensions are the same, something thats 114-84-108, the core center would be a little back from true center.)


i have some fujatives at core center and they are good for everything.

its cool, the further back the more all mountain material it is really.. some people (take dumonts pro ski for example) will actualy mount the ski infront to true center for a purely based park ski.

when you are standing on core center, you are on the center of the arc that the ski makes when it carves

if you picture that arc, you are on the flatest part of it where as true center will put you ahead of the arc and your turn, which makes it "worse" for regular skiing
