This is my first season with twin tips and skiing park so I had my skis mounted 5 cm back ( dont make fun of me plz) anyways I was wondering if it's possible to have my bindings centered and if it really cheanges the feel of the skis?
but like if I get them center mounted can I still do groomers and glades etc?
and thanks for responding guys =]
On the contrary, I would argue to go ahead and centermount your skis in both situations. I know this is my personal opinion, but unless you ski park about 30 percent or less, centermounting is the way to go. It will give you by far the best preformance in the park out of any mounting, so if your not that into park, you always have the proper mounting set up in case you do. Being more forward on the ski allows you to be more agressive and also edges a little easier, which I find makes the ski more playful in groomer and packed-pow conditions. Furthermore, its still extremely versitile in the moguls, off-piste, and in shallow pow. Last and certainly not least (but really pointless), it also looks the sickest having huge tails, but that's a really superficial thing.
The catch I would say to this, though, is whether or not you have a separate pow ski. I do, so therefore, my other two pairs of park skis are mounted center because, as long as it's not like a 2 foot dump, I can ride them anywhere and have a load of fun. If these are you're only skis, then I would defintely listen to Silence just because skiing deep pow on centermounted park skis can be a tragic experience. If they're not, centermount.
