How fat do you want to go? s3s will get you a 98mm ski, armada jjs are a bit bigger at 115mm in the waist. Volkl gotamas would be another sick ski to look at if you want something built a little more for charging.

a lot of these reverse camber/rocker skis are meant to have much more of a centered mount. Maybe 2-4cms back at most.
