Hey NS's
Just ordered my self some 4frnt vandals 186 length with tyrolia aaattack 11's. I'm going to be teaching skiing as well as doing park and all mountain shit. Was thinking of saying fuck it and center mounting em but might be best to go back a few cm. input????

How much park vs all mt? if mostly park, i'd go centre. Also, if you're teaching beginners you might find yourself skiing switch a bunch anyway so the centre mount could be handy.

I'd just say fuck it and mount center. You have plenty of ski to work with there, I mount all my skis center since my first pair of twins and never feel like there's a performance loss railing groomers. The Vandals dimensions are on the more symmetrical side anyways.

Honestly it cracks me up how worried you are about the teaching aspect... like how much of a difference do you think it'll make in your gradual right & left turns..?

I've just heard it wrecks a lot of the all mountain performance that the ski has.
