So I just got some ON3P Filthy Riches

And I know they are obviously symmetrical and that more than likely means I should mount center but I will ski them some out of the park and was wondering if anyone who works with ON3P or has experience with the ski could chime in!

Best bet is to center mount. If you mount back far enough, theres a chance you could screw up the flex in the tails

Why would you ever mount a symmetrical ski anywhere other than center.

If you are going to be skiing enough out of the park you could always get the Marker Schizos, they move forward(center) to back 3 centimeters. That's what I have on my Jeffreys.

There's a notch on the sidewall of the ski, that's the factory recommended mounting point for best all-around use. I'd mount it there. (btw, that notch is the center of the ski).

mount them backwards, for better switch preformance.

Hahah, yeah, and then when you get sick of that, mount them at +1cm from center, for even better switch preformance. Just never ride forward.

center. that's where they are meant to be mounted. you can mount back from center if they aren't symmetrical.
