I have a pair of Rossi steezes, and I am getting them re-mounted with new bindings.  They were mounted "modern" last year, and did ok.  I want to be able to ski switch in pow, but also be able to rip lines without my tips sinking.  I am thinking I will mount them -3cm from center.  Anyone have suggestions?

I am also not sure on exactly where center is for Rossi twins, is that "Addict"?

it all depends on how much you plan on skiing switch, i mount most of my skis at true center, regardless of powder or park

Addicted is really close to center. Flip one ski upside down, and see the addicted are like 2 cm apart, which translated to 1 back from center. I got mine mounted between addicted and modern. Perfect compromise I think.

I mounted my steezes at the "standered" mark.  I will not be skiing switch on them much as I mounted them with dukes to tour, charge and huck with.  I did however mount my brigades at "modern" and was able to ski just fine switch in pow with them.

I have some Salomon Thrusters mounted center and some Ninthward LTs that I have not mounted yet.   The steezes are going to be my pow pow ski, but I want to be able to shred down steep lines, not too squirly.  But I do like riding switch a ton.  I feel like mounting them a little back though would not hurt my switch capabilties too bad.  Maybe between Modern and addict? like I am pretty sure that is -3 or so?

So skiing switch is pretty good, but skiing steep lines is also failry stable?  where and what are you skiing mostly?  I love skiing switch, but I am going to be hitting some sttep and deep stuff as well.  The steezes are 174, which means they will get a little squirly at high speeds, but still Iw ant to make them as diverse as possible.  I like your reasoning going between modern and addicted, I think that would be a good compromise, but how much switch vs steep and you skiing would you say?
