I plan to center mount my suspects...will this affect a few runs of pow here and there and some groomers? Im going to Vail over Christmas break and will probably ski pow too....

So, will center mounting my skis mess up all mountain skiing.  Even though i ski mostly park ill be skiing some other stuff here and there...

it won't mess up your all mountain skiing. At first it will feel weird but you will get use to it very quickly. You will lose some performance in powder but if you mostly ski park the center will be very beneficial. If you are really worried about losing performance all mountain mount them 2 or 3 cm back from true center.

agreed. theres no reason to center mount an all mountain ski unless you ski pow switch more than forwards.

I would go with -1 or -2 from center, that way you will be able to ski park and will be able to shred just about anything short of deep pow.

I centermounted last year and it kind of sucked for all mountain, awesome for park, but it made me sit waaaaay back on my skis, hence making me look bad, at least for all mountain.

bump

I just bought some symetrical all mountain skis with dimensions 114-120-102-120-114 that I plan on mostly taking in chop/all around the mtn with a few park runs here and there. I am planning on mounting these dead center but would like some input before doing so. what do you guys think for someone who will be launching cliffs into shitty landings? if it is any conselation they are pretty stiff and have tip/tail rocker as well.
