Liberty LTE Mount?

So a week or two ago I was set on mounting my skis (164 Liberty LTE's) true center with my Marker Griffon Bindings.
The More I have read about center mounting though, the more I have become unsure
I am 5 foot 5.5 and ski mostly in park but second most in bumps. I love skiing in general so I don't always just stick in the park and I use these skis when there is a powder day or when its icy, i use em for everything.
Any Help for where to mount them would be greatly appreciated

exact same thing for me, wish I could help you but I also want some advice.  I'm going to get mounted and talk to the shop tech about it, I'll tell you what he decides to mount me at.

if you're going to ski them all over then you may want to mount the at recommended, this is were the factory says you'll get the most out of the ski so you'll be able to ski it all over the place.

that helps a ton.

If I do more park then anything else would like 50mm towards center be better or should I just stay at the recomended. The LTE's recomended spot is 2.5cm back so i dont know. I definetely do more park then anything, like 70%, but as I said, these are my skis for everything. If that makes any sense.

Thanks for the help

well i got 166 ar6s and just got them mounted at 1.5 back for 50% all mountain cruising and 50% park. im the same height as you and i weight 110 pounds and most said 1.5 back would be best. the reason im comparing these two skis is because the flex is similar and the sidecut is almost the same (ar6: 115-83-105 LTE: 116-83-105)

mehh i wouldnt, its personal preferance though. all the "important" people that ride for armada dont mount their skis past 1.5 and they all have very similar dimensions to the LTE as well as flexes

I don't
I have been trying to load a picture of the mount position but it won't so I will just explain it
Standard is 700mm back from dead center
Cab forward is 250mm back from dead center
Other then that the ski has all of the other mount positions, they are just not named

I don't know if that helps at all but I hope it does

For reference I'm using my LTE's as a 75% park ski, and I mounted mine at dead center.  Hope that helps you out man.

alright, so what that means is the "normal" stance (like 0% park) is at -7 (which is normally used for like all-mountain/race skis) and the progressive stance is at -2.5, so they're recommended it -2.5. I think you'll be fine at either -1 or -1.5, it'll keep the turn radius pretty smooth and the flex normal, but give you more balance on rails and lower swing weight in the front.

I have AR6s mounted at -5 and they slide rails just fine so going -2.5 or -1.5 would be perfect

Thank You All So Much

I am thinking either a 1 or 1.5 but I am still not positive
Would a 1 or 1.5 still be fine in the bumps and such
