Armada ARV mounting position help

I'm purchasing a pair of 2013 Armada ARVs 185cm tomorrow and I was wondering where I should mount them. I ski about 50-50 in the park and all mountain. Recommended is -7 from true center I believe. Any suggestions as to where I should mount at? I was thinking +3 from recommended. I'm 6'3" and 280 if it helps.

Also, I'm an advanced all mountain skier and I don't generally hit rails in the park if this helps too.

I had mine mounted at -2 from dead center, not sure how much in front that is from recommendend, I'm sure your shop could help if they know what they are doing... I was 130-145 pounds and 5'10 and was on the 175, I also am a 50/50 park/all mountain skier. If you're not hitting rails you could probably go back a little more

How often are you switch? Go too far back and skiing backwards is going to feel funny. I liked -2cm back from true center on my arv's. Kept them still slightly directional with super buttery tips without feeling all that bad skiing switch.

last_tangoHow often are you switch?

Not too terribly much as of now. I'm planning on being able to throw 1's, 3's, and 5's comfortably next year so ill be doing a lot more switch. I had foot surgery two weeks before anywhere in the midwest opened up so i haven't yet skiedand i wont be able to ski until really late season or next year so I'm planning on doing a lot on the tramps/making a little summer rail setup so next season I'll be half way decent in the park and riding switch a lot more so I'm stuck between the -2/-4 from center range.
