I have a pair of 06/07 scratch fs wrs 174's and I am getting a binding remount this season.  Living in Ohio I pretty much ski 100% park.  Would it be a bad idea to center mount that ski?

i would deffinitly go true center if you ski 100% park
 i moved my skis forward about 5 cm's and there still 1 cm away for true and its just so much nicer
skis feel and are way more balanced

if they are park specific skis, or you just ride park, going dead center is your best bet, it will balance your swing weight and make riding switch/landing switch easier.

Go for it. The red Rossi R is the centre point.

Ight thats prolly what I'm going to do then.  The only thing im worried about is that I'm going on a trip to Utah here at the end of December and the scratches are the only set of skis I own at the moment.  I'm prolly going to be skiing mostly bowls and stuff out there, will I be able to do that on a center mounted ski?
