i think -1 or -2 cm would be better. You'd get much better all mountain performance and it wouldn't make much of a dif in the park compared to center

if you wouldn't notice a difference in the park, chances are you wouldn't notice it all-mountain.

You can mount any ski anywhere you want, but it might sacrifice the integrity of the ski. Im mounting 3cm forward of centre- its all in what you like...

nah, mounting it -2 matches the sidecut better while only hurts swing weight and balance a little bit. Maybe makes switch a bit harder, but not by much because you're still closer to the sidecut.

in a ski like that, i say don't Either +1 or 2 of recomended, but not true centre or centre. This ski has a very specific flex for an all mountain ski, not to mention the side cut. It will not ride the way its suppost to, and really make the ski handle like a dirty poop stick.
