hey guys, i got some mojos a couple months back (176cm) and i mounted them at +3. it is fairly close to a center mount. our first somewhat- powder day came along last weekend (finally!) and i was noticeing that the tips of my skis wouldnt stay up in the pow. my theory is that its because i mounted them so far forward that the weight is more forward when i ride. im thinking about haveing them moved back to like +1. but i dont know if that will really help. any input? i want the ski to be good in park and the pow, so far because of the lack of snow here all ive really been able to use them for is park, which is cool, but i want to make them better for pow too. once again, any input?

you should have kept the 4frnts and mounted them in freeride position...but seriously i dunno mojos seem like more of a mountain ski than a park ski anyway and +1 is definitely going to be better in pow - i just can't tell you how much so

ya, i wish i could have at least ridden the 4frnts. i keep hearing how great they are, maybe i'll get some next season in the new color. i think that im going to wait untill next season to get them remounted though b/c at +3 they are way better in the park (and i dont have any other park skis) and with the serious lack of snow, a park ski is kinda the ski i want right now. your right though, they are a better mountain ski than park ski. im starting to think that i shouldnt have taken them on rails... but the skis are still awsome on anything but ice. oh well.

Boy, I bet you feel silly...seriously though, mounting them at +1 will make all the difference, and they shouldn't be that bad in the park like that either. Think, they are pow skis put the bindings where they are supposed to go or they will get angry at you.

I don't know why you'd mount a BC ski forward, when ou ride deeper pow you need more ski in front of you.

i know, i know.... im dumb. i obviously wasnt thinking to hard. but with the lack of snow here in colorado im not to upset. if and when i get different skis i will get the mojos remounted.
