Replying to Mounting Armada ARVti

slaydave:
Always center mounted my skis in the past, even if they were not symmetrical. I'm used to how it feels and have always enjoyed for going switch in the park and outside the park. Just got a pair of the arvti and I got them for shredding outside the park. They have slight nose rocker but traditional camber underfoot. No rocker in the tail. I'm thinking to myself I should not center them because of the nose rocker combined with traditional camber. If I were to center mount them' that would technically have me sitting closer to the contact point on the front of the ski than the contact point on the tail... right? I imagine this would feel odd since I'm used to being mounted in the center of a traditional camber ski. I feel going back a little like 1.5 or 2 cm from center would feel better going forward and still allow me to rip it switch. However, it is my understanding that this ski is the same mold as the al dente which I'd assume people mount center for park, even with the nose rocker. Anyone have experience with these skis mounted center? Or do you think it would be better to set them back a bit? Dude at the shop says I won't even notice being 2 cm back from center. What do you guys think?
