I can't seem to make my mind up regarding where I want to mount my new JJ zeros with the Marker Kingpin binding. For the longest time I skied on center mounted park skis and last year had my JJs mounted to factory recommend without really giving it thought. I'm not thrilled with the decision...

Thoughts? What is your placement with your fat powder ski?

The amount of people who really need their powder ski center mounted is miniscule. Are you not happy with the placement because you don't like how they ski, or are you just thinking about it too much.

I dont ski center like you but i do like a forward mount on my skis. For my jjs, i had them at rec for part of a season and couldn't get behind it really. Ended up going with +1.5-2cm in front of recommended and like the skis alot more now. I have Adrenalins on them and don't see any drawbacks when touring. I ride the 185s for reference.

-2.5cm from true center is the best place to mount jjs
pretty much everyone on the team mounts them there
