I would mount them -2 or -2.5. That ski rocker profile really works best when mounted just slightly back from center. At center you will want more nose. Enjoy them though they are such a good ski.

I work in a ski shop, so the other day i was speaking to salomon about that exact question. They said to centre them for me ( park and a slight bit of pow). I think for you about -1.5

I would only center them if you are just I the park which obviously I doubt you are on that ski. Honestly with te symmetrical rocker as soon as you center you just lose too much nose for all mnt. -1.5 could work but I would be carefull center ing. For reference I cantered my 122's and 108's and moved both back to -2.5 and they rode so much better.

I really wish these came in a 192. I'm so frustrated.

I just picked up a pair of the 186 for park/non-powder days. Looks like the recommended line is roughly 6cm back from true center.

I'm going to probably go with 2.5cm back from center. Its not a symmetrical ski so I wouldn't go full center. It would probably make it feel really short in the front.
