Since i started skiing park (2 seasons and 3 sets of skis) I've always centre mounted my bindings, but i just got new skis and am curious about setting them back a cm or so, anyone know of any benefit to that or is centre mounted the way to go?

generally youll have more control a few cm back but if you ski switch alot center mounting will feel more comfortable for that. also it changes your swing weight a tiny bit but its not a big deal if your only a cm or two back

I ski switch almost as much as i don't… so control as in skiing down groomed runs or control as in my ability to control my skis while hitting jumps rails etc? just curious about trying something new!

If your mostly in the park i would stick with center mount but mounting you bindings further back will definatly make all mountain shredding easier

Mount them backwards but at the recommended line, then ski switch all day!

forward mounting is the way to go

You should base it off the side cut of the ski. If the ski is symmetrical then mount center. If not mount at recommended.....
