Not much point centremounting if they are to be used out of the park

If they are the Sprayer BC, They are a great ski to use all over the mountain so i would definitely mount back from centre

Are you going to spend majority of your time out of the park?

riding on an all mountain ski center mounted in the park is fine, after a while you will get used to it and almost not know the difference, thats atleast my experience

My friend just got a pair of green scratch sprayers and has them mounted true center. I have skied them, and not only are they great for taking off switch, they ski nicely forward too. If you already have them mounted though, I  wouldn't bother remounting them. It will probably cost you some money and will weaken the skis, plus you won't have your skis for a bit while they are doing it, and the difference probably won't be very much.

due to lac of funds I only have an urban ski and a ski I use all mountain. My all mountain skis are centermounted and I ride them in park, in chest deep powder, and everywhere. I dont see a problem. Just have to get used to it
