I am leaving in 4 hours to go get my skis mounted and i need to know where to get them mounted.

Surface Watch Life skis
Rossi FKS 155 binding

I am 5'10 145 and ski Ohio, so pretty much all park. I have Hellbents for trips and such, so it will be an almost 100% park ski.

Where should i mount them?

-1cm from centre. I prefer to mount +2cm from centre, but thats preference. Anywhere from -1 from true to true centre seems like a good idea

Ya, i will most likely go true center. And i rode last season at +1.5 of true and i like it alot, but with these, on the off chance i take them out of the park, i want them not past center.

Does anyone by chance know how far center is away from recommended?

Now there is a problem.

I measured center and i found it using an unconventional method** and i made a line on my ski. And then i measured to see how far it was in front of recommended and it was +6.5. Now is that weird? I figured it would be a nice even number.

**Flipped the ski over and measured the whole length of the base and then divided it by 2 and marked from there. it turned out to be 86.5cm on each side of the base.

Measure the top... seeing as you dont mount binders on the base.

true center out of the park is fine.

its an all mountain ski, you wont explode, dont worry.
