Recently I asked advice about mounting me new 179 07' PEs. I measured from the mid sole of the boot and it is 3cm back from true center (which is about 2cm forward from K2s marked Core Center). Are these too far forward for park/all mountain/moguls?

Thanks,
Jake

I have my thrusters mounted halfway between true center and recommended mounting. I like them that way since I spend about 1/4 of my time in the park. But switch riding is pretty hard on my skis, since I've tried a few center mounted skis before. I think they're just right for park

K2's "CORE CENTER" is about 2.5cm back from true center.

i always mount my skis at true center just for the extra versatility. its better for riding fakie and gives the ski more stability for spins/rails (in my opinion). that mount still works for my powder boards 2 but they ride alot different than other skis. its all personal preference really but i dont think the mount u have is going to hinder u 2 baly
