Replying to Where am i going to mount these beasts (arv's)
so i have some 05/06 175 arv's on the way and i really don't know where to mount them. i have a slight idea but i would like some opinions from those that have ridden them. i am 5'8'' 135 pounds. i ski at smuggs in vt so east coast.
these are going to be my only skis that i am using this year. i will be skiing pow and hiking for the best pow line possible when there is fresh snow. i don't want my tips to dive. im not too concerned about this cause your supposed to lean back in pow anyways. im used to skiing centermounted twins in pow and other skis only a few cm's back from center.
when there isn't fresh i will be skiing all over the mountain. those days i probably ski like 1/3 of my day in the park. some days im in the park a ton, some not. it evens out. you get the point, im in the park a good amount. i ski a lot switch and enjoy carving switch down trails and bombing hills. so i want to feel stable. that about covers it. i need a balance between the two leaning more towards park because there isn't fresh everyday. oh and too add...i love fooling around just buttering and jibbing having a good time. ya know playing on the skis.
so what would be a good point to mount them at? whats reccomended on arv's? how far is the reccommended spot from true center? im thinking like ~3 cm behind true center or something?
