I'm about to mount my alpha1's and I have a question, is there any real difference between mounting them -2.5 and -1.5? Will i feel that? i do not want to mount them TC becouse they're not supposed to be mounted there.

I'm sure there is some difference, but I can't tell you how it will feel and if it will feel good or bad. If there is a recommended point I'd probably shoot for that unless someone else states otherwise

armada said that armada's pros are mounting'em from -1 to -2,5 i think -2,5 is a little bit too far for balance

At -1.5 you'll feel a bit more balanced on rails and skiing switch may be slightly easier, at -2.5 carving and general skiing will be easier. Basically if you're spending more than half the time you ski in the park I would go for -1.5, but if you are using the ski primarily for all mountain skiing and carving with only a little bit or no park -2.5 would be a better option.

1 more question, will -1.5 mount hardly affect landing in offpiste conditions? I'm not talking about pow just some deeper snow than on piste
