I'm sorry sir but what you posted is just stupid. The sidecut of the ski works best when the ski is mounted at recommended. In my opinion you should only mount center when the recommended is way far back, which -2.5 certainly isnt.

well you already mounted them but.. I think it's really just personal preference, I'm mounting mine center. Yes people will say that's stupid, doesn't use the ski to it's full potential, etc. but you're the one skiing it so do what you like. I've mounted skis at +2, +3 and loved it so who's to tell you not too..

I CANT DECIDE WHERE TO MOUNT MINE

I ski ~90% park (east coast) but it would kill me if they were mounted bad for the few pow days that come time to time
:(

recommended? close to center? or dead center?

-2.5

It will ski better outside the park, and we're only talking about an inch difference here, it won't make a hugely noticeable difference in the park.

I would go recommended or somewhere in between, like -1.5.
