How far back should I get my skis mounted?

I'm getting a new pair of skis (Armada Al-dente) and the marker Griffon, and I was wondering how far I should have them mounted? I was thinking around 2cm back, but I'm not sure.
I will be skiing 40%park, fair amount of landing switch, 30%piste and 30%Pow.

Good suggestions will get +K

I get all my twiggys (except maybe a directional touring setup) mounted at -20mm like you're thinking, switch feels great and makes it a bit easier to keep the tips up in the deep stuff compared to a centre mount.

2cm sounds like a good distance to mount back. Back when I started park skiing but was also doing a whole lot of carving and all mountain skiing I had my skis mounted like that. Worked great, didnt notice too much while spinning that they were off center, rails you could sort of tell but honestly not that much

-1 cm is where I would go personally, where henrik has them and he uses them for everything.
