Turn one ski the other way then put them base-to-base. If the bindings line up, they're center mounted.

check if there are mounting point markings on the skis

Measuring tape, divide in half and mark it on the ski. Pop a boot in, if the little arrow under the boot arch isnt on your line, they're not centered.

It isn't extremely hard to figure out...

Doesn't work that way. Heel pieces are longer than toe pieces. I'd go with the "boot in the binding and see if the little arrow lines up with center" method

Cut out a sample of your base and core and send it to a lab for testing. When the results come back, that should be your answer.

Err, it does work that way... I should have said the actual bit of the binding where your boot fits into it, but yeah...

Like a couple of the non-asshole, mature NS'ers said:
Locate the center of your boot. Most likely marked by a line or arrow on the bottom or side of your boot.
Snap your boot into your bindings.
Measure from the tip of your ski to the center mark on your boot.
Measure from the tail of your ski to the center mark on your boot.
if the two numbers are the same, then your bindings are center mounted.
All times are Eastern (-5)
