Hello, I am new to the world of powder skis and I just ordered these skis. Now I am trying to decide where to mount them. I was thinking centered? I honestly don't know with powder skis.

I got 171cm. I am around 150lbs and 5'5. I'm not sure if that matters with where to mount skis.

+k with actual help

Thanks NS

I wouldn't mount them centered. Definitely don't get the factory mount though, it is wayy far back and you won't have any support on landings. Go a few mm backftom centered.

The mounting recommendation lines look a little far back because they are based on the skis' contact camber points, which imo is a bit back. I would take your boot and line up the midsole mark with +1cm and +2cm lines and see how it looks from there. When I do this to my own skis, finding the right mounting position becomes much easier to spot.
