-2 or -1, I'd go with -2. DO NOT center mount a ski that isn't symmetrical (i.e. Invaders).

Centre or 1 back. What that guy above said is BS.

yea i would go center. matt.rad is dumb, invaders are symmetrical and i would go center with any ski besides a rockered pow ski. still performs all mountain no problem at centered

I wouldn't go that far..centremounting often fucks with the reported sidecut of the ski

^ true dat. just go for reccommended point which is -2 for chrons i think. where ever it is, it will be a super versatile mounting point for park/allmt/pow ski
