i would just mount them center, i messed around with my seths last year, started with them a little back and then moved to center and wish i would have just gone center from the beginning. its more fun and comfortable once you get used to it

yea i rock mine in the powder all the time. it makes it way easier to ski switch in powder too. it allows you to improve more if you center mount them i believe. I got significantly better once i changed over.

1 back of centre on ARVs is the sickest spot i've ever mounted those up at. Such a sick spot.

Center is dreadful in pow and 1cm back is negligibly different. I found the sweet spot on the ski is half way between recomended point and true center.

I'm curious about this as well.  Right now the circle with the length (I have the 08 ARVs) is right in the center of my boot.  I want to move my bindings a bit forward to make them more of an all-mountain jib ski.  Any recommendations?  Should I move it forward just a tad, keep it as is?  What about mounting it true center?  Thanks!
