the best place to mount them is right in the gear talk.

this.

But also, to give a legit reply, what do you plan on doing with them? Just skiing powder? Are you going to be skiing switch, and maybe messing around in the park a little bit with them?

It depends on what you want them for

go a few cm back, maybe 2. Don't mount center unless you know you'll be skiing switch a lot...

mount them right at the back, just before the curl starts

it'll be harder to control, but its rewarding

That's what I did with my Rossignol Bandits.
It is quite rewarding and excelent for going backwards.

Nah, if you're going to go within 2 cm of center, you may aswell go all the way. Center dem bitches up.

Mounting is overrated. I wouldn't mount them at all.

Ok no reason to bash ppl when they r tryin to get some useful advice. Im using this thread for referance as well. Think bout it those of u tht bother to bust out srupid comments, ppl actually use this advice to their advantage. If there was a sticky thread about ideal mounting positions for pow skis thn im sure ppl wouldt post tough about wheee to

I think tht if ur more specific about wht ur trying to do and how u ride as well as ur height and weight. Some non-errogant douche. On here will provide u with useful info maki g ur season tht much better. Not to mention these kids who posr stupid shit im sure know everything bout skiing so im sur never once have asked a gear question.

I got a pair myself and at 6'4 195 i def wanna go a about 1.5 back from core center. Tht way presumably i wont dive and can still ride switch. I wouldnt go over two cm cuz u wheelie tough. Atleast my buddy did witj them he mounted like 5 back and hated it and remounted

Quad post FTW.

You only wheelie all the time if you're a dick and ski in the back seat all day.

Center. Makes it easier to wheelie out the farther back they're mounted. Plus its more fun

Go core centre, that way you're in the middle of the rocker. If you go too far back on these you'll have barely any contact point behind your boot when you're out of the pow. Don't forget there's only about 100cm of ski on the ground with these bad boys.
mounting back 1cm is not going to make any noticeable difference to powder fun, go in the middle and enjoy that balance.
Core centre is still 1.5cm back from the true centre of the ski so you're not dead centre anyway.
