I currently got a pair of 181 Jeronimos and am having a super hard time deciding where I want to get my fks 140s mounted on them. I ski at least 90% park cuz of my location, but I am going to make a bunch of trips to CO this year where I will probably be spending a lot of time in the park as well as everywhere else when the snow is good. I was thinking about mounting them center but would like to hear everybody else's opinions so I dont make a mistake. And I did searchbar, but it's hard to find much about my skis specifically. thanks

How much do you care about out of park performance?

I want them to be able to perform out of the park, but it isnt really my main concern cuz I have never been able to spend much time out of the park. Does anyone have them center mounted and still use them out of the park?

Well I've only ridden Jeronimos mounted at the recommended mounting point (-3). I skied them at Timberline, all over the mountain and in the park. Granted I don't ski park a lot and I've only had one pair of skis mounted at center. I had no problem spinning off of rails and landing and taking off switch off of jumps. I know there are people who center mount them and enjoy them. Personally I believe a ski should always be mounted closer to it's recommended mounting point but that is just my personal preference.

Mine are center mounted.

If you're used to skiing center mounted skis in the park, the way that you ski is going to be based around a center mount elsewhere. Three cm is about an inch, and it isn't a difference that I notice when I'm skiing them out of the park. Obviously, they don't float like a Caylor (mine are -1cm from true center), but for the odd Colorado trip plus heavy park use, I think dead center would be your best bet.

maybe -2? if he wants out of park performance at all, there is no reason for a center mount, and between the 3 pairs of J-mos ive skied, i found minus 2 to be the best for a mix of park and shredding groomers
