Mounting ARVs

Hey kids, I got my ARV 185's today (HELL YES!), and now I am faced with the dillema of where to mount them. Anyone who rides these things would be most helpful, but anyone with other pow skis would help too. I'm thinking +2 or 3. I'm going to be riding mostly big mountain in Tahoe crud with them, but I will also ocasionally take them in the park and I will definately be doing some BC kickers this year. Tell me what you think, thanks.

Geoff: No, I just put my boxers on backwards so the hole is in the back...it's alot easier that way.

I mounted mine recommended. They still have a shit load of tail and hopefully ride awesome in the BC and fresh. But I have seen ARVs with misprinted recommended lines that are wayy far back. So be careful.

Yeah, I'm planning on fakie in powder, but I'll still be dropping cliffs and skiing lines on them foreward, so +2 might be the way to go. I'll go see what my shop guys have got to say.
