Hi, I'm new to this forum :d..I know my question may be stupid but idc :D..so yeah i bought some new rossignol S1 and the guy at the shop mounted them at the standard position...Since im not only doing park (something like 60% groomed 40% park) I was wondering if I should re-drill them to mount them in the center? Is it worth it?? Is there any difference when it's drilled 2 time? Thanks :DDDD

(sorry if my english is being bad, im not english attt allll :DD)

You should center mount skis if your skiing switch a lot. Maybe 50% of the time or so. It wont be the best thing for the skis but it wont ruin them. I'd bring it in to the shop and have them do it if you're stoked on it. If you doing a lot of all mountain skiing the skis wont perform like they should at all tho.

Your call. Thats what we tell our customers at least :)

nah it doesnt affect the feel of the ski if only redrill them once..

if you do it to many times thats when you get problems with the core splitting and stuff

core centre is factory recommended for normal skiers so go for that.

Leave them where they are. If they feel like they should be forward then remount them. No sense in fixing something that isnt broken yet.
