Scratch FS. Which would you go for and why. Please give solid reasons. Im tall and resonably heavy and theyre 181. Im a good skier but average in park.
Accidentally got my skis mounted at standard which is like -8 or 9cm because i didnt specify to the techie. I want to get them re mounted but to stop the screw holes meeting they must either be around -5cm or -3cm+.

I have mine at -2cm.  I absolutely love it and wouldn't mount anywhere else, but the majority of my riding is park....
My last pair was -4cm and that was good too.  At -2 I notice they are better in the park, a little worse all mt, and not great in bumps but still manageable.  -4 was just good in the park and handled all mt well.
What percentages are you goint to be rididng 50/50, 75/25.........

They wont be used on powder days cos Ive got some other skis for that but they'll be 50% park 50% skiing around the piste etc.

Ok I'm thinking -3 rather than -5. I dont want to centre mount as ill be normal skiing on them too. Any desperate pleas to change my mind or am I making the right decision?
