of course it will, but the bottom line is that you should always mount your skis in the place that will aid you the most in skiing the way you want. If you ski 90% park and 10% groomers, then what is the point in getting the ski mounted for groomers if you ski them 10% of the time
what i'm saying is that if you ski park primarily, get them centremounted, it'll help you ski park the best

Some non-symmetrical twins are design with a larger "sweet spot" that allows you center mount them or go as far back at -6. These would be ok to center mount but wont ride as well as a symmtrical ski that is center mounted.

Depends on what you mean by "affects the performance". I've never even owned a pair of symmetrical skis, but I've always center mounted them. To me, the "performance" gets decreased when I mount them back. I don't like the feeling and prefer to be centered. Because I don't solely care about carving performance. That is just one factor including others like spinning, ollieing, grabbing, riding switch, buttters, etc. When all those factors are included, I get the best performance out of a center mount. But with mounting, a majority of it has to do with preference. The next guy may be completely different from me.

I've always centered mounted my skis even if they weren't symmetrical.

the way i look at it, if the ski is used for primarily park, it should be center mounted no matter what
All times are Eastern (-5)
