Ok so I have just got a pair of 185 Line EP Opus skis. I'm going to mount Marker Duke bindings on them as they'll be used for some backcountry touring as well as general freeriding.
Any suggestions on where would be best to mount them - centred or back from centre ??

Park - Center
Backcountry, freeski - back from the center.
Go to your local ski shop for any other advice

Yeh man I know that...

I'm more looking for anyone that has mounted freeride skis like these with touring bindings and has an opinion on mounting options...ie +1, +2 etc back from centre? Differences it makes to freeriding / backcountry freestyle and if it effects ease of touring!?
