Hey guys,
i got the Völkl Bridge and i have my Marker Griffon a little on the back of my skies, and i was thinking about moving them to the true center so they are right in the middle. But will my skis still float in powder as good and what advantages would it give me in the park or elsewhere?

You're going to want them a little back from true centre to be able to have a good time in pow, but close to true centre for a good time in park.

Maybe look at -2 from true centre.

What will you be using them for the most?

Definetly more for Park, i go skiing 3-4 months a year and almost 3 of them are in an area without pow... how bad is it for pow if i have them on true center?

You'll manage if you're rarely in powder. It also depends on the length of your ski, how tall you are, and your weight when it comes to a centre mounted ski for pow.

The only problem I'd see is they'd feel too short at times in the powder when the extra length would help.
