if youre looking to seriously progress in the park, the closer to center the better.

its easier to ski all mountain with a center mount than it is to ski park with a traditional mount

i ski center mounted volkl walls all mountain quite a bit. They slay the park and are way fun every where else..since you already have a pow ski 2 back would be perfect. Just cant drive forward on turns like your on a race ski as much

^^hes saying that if you have centered skis, its easier to ski all mountain compared to if you have skis mounted far back for sking park

aka

center or close to it is the best for a park/all mountain combo. further back is better for all mountain and not so much park
