I think for this season i have narrowed it down to either the 179cm PE or 175cm TM, ive just got to see which is easy to get by me. My next question is if you recommend center mounting the skis. what are the pros and cons for doing it?
what i have heard its better for rails and swich landings (of course). any other reasons?
Im gonna be skiing strickly park on these and a little big mountian when i go on ski trips. but its basically just for park

if its just for park, go with center mounting. better switch, spin faster, more rail balance. The only thing back mounted skis are better for is all mtn.

center mounted skis are better for park, because it gives you better switch skiing ability. but if you wanna ski big mountain with them, they suck, if you want a big mountain ski you should go with a ski that is mounted farther back from center, that way it gives you more flotation in front of you, so you float ontop of the snow more easily.

but if you want a mostly park ski, then a center mounted ski is great for that
