4frnt msp true center

true center is the way to go, no disadvantages, lots of advantages, and i dont wanna hear about pow and shit because it doesnt hinder you in pow to have true center

I disagree with you. I feel a huge difference skiing my all mountain skis and my park skis let alone powder skis. My pollards (park) are true center and my AR5s are 2 back from true and would prefer them maybe one more back which I believe is core center.

Yeah, and fucking guys is only gay if you're the one taking it...

True center mounting + pow = not so much fun. Unless you're talking 5-10 cm of fresh, light soft pow on top of a hard base with a tiny bit of crust on top of it, on what would otherwise be considered an easy blue run. Then, and only then, is true center in pow good. Unless the ski is specifically designed for it and has its sidecut and dimensions adjusted accordingly.

Straightlining your shovelled off inrun to a booter in the "backcountry" isn't actually the same as skiing powder, believe it or not.
