Obsethed mounting point - 189's +++++karma

I searchbarred this already but none of the people were my size or had my length of ski. I just bought Obsetheds in 189 and I'm mounting some STH-14's on them. I'm 6'0" ft tall and weigh 170lbs. I'm going to be using these primarily on East coast pow days (yes, they do happen every millenium) and on the occasional trip out west. So, where should I mount my skis if I want to use them primarily in pow and glades but still want them to be playful??

right now I'm thinking +4 of classic mount

+++karma for good suggestions

I didn't have the 189, but my seths were mounted at core center and they were awesome. I'd say anywhere from core center to core center -3 would be fine, depending on how tricky you wanna get with em.

I think you have the right thinking mounting around +4. K2 says suggests +3 to +5 for a all mountain/park combo. I rode a 179 obsethed (biggest they had) at +3 and they felt pretty good charging but could have used a little more tail for switch landings in pow. With a big ski like the 189 I think you could go to +5 (where seth mounts supposedly) since you wont have too many problems with tip dive. Hope this helps.
