Aiight, so i just got a pair of Cholesterone RC's, and i have no idea where to mount them. i enjoy jibbing in the pow, messing around and buttering etc, but i also dont want to nose dive by putting the bindings at tru centre! I am 6'3 and 160 odd pounds, the skis are 186 (only size). any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jack.

Oh, I am in whistler for the first time as well, so i dont really know how much snow, or what the snow they get is like, or if that would make a difference.
cheers.

Mount as far forward as you can on the scale on the ski. With rocker, you can mount further forward, get more tail for more stability, without sacrificing tip float(at least not a ton of it). Better for swing weight and balance as well.

sounds good to me. the furthest marking forward is 40mm in front of centre. does that sound about right?

woah now. Don't go in front of true centre! I don't know where the scale is on the RC's though. My advice is: Line the skis up next to each other and flip one over, so the scales are running in opposite directions (so that the nose is next to the tail and vice versa). Where the two measurements are next to each other, that is true centre. On the Amplid anti-dogma, true centre is +2cm of 'centre' i.e it looks like this when you do what i say..

-4 -2 centre +2 +4
+4 +2 centre -2 -4

since the two +2s are next to each other, that is true centre. I would say go between true centre and -2cm from true on a rockered ski, if you will be landing switch alot etc..
