What year Kye 110? I'm looking at mounting a pair and looking for thoughts on mount point? I have the 181s, I'm 5'7" so not worried they'll feel short. The recommended point seems pretty far back at about -7cm. Are you mounted at recommended?

For your height I'd think 185-195 depending on the ski.

The 16/17 model(same as this years different top sheet)(also still in highschool and I was roughly 5'10 when i bought them) I was mounted at recommended, but the tips are very easy to overpower, so i might even recommend mounting a little farther back a few cms. Even with the mount point I felt the skis preferred a centered stance.

I have the same skis sitting in my shed waiting to get drilled when the shift bindings are released. I ski pretty centered, and don't think I drive skis too hard, more slashy. I demo'd the Sego Big Horn 106 176?cm last year and felt those were really short and soft in the tips mounted at rec -3.8cm, and also got on the Black Crows Atris 184 rec mounting point -7.8 and felt the tails were really loose feeling, like I wanted a little more behind me. I know they aren't apples to apples but feel like the Kye 110 is in the same group and was thinking to mount -5 or 6, which is 1-2cm in front of recommended.

How much do you weigh?

Take a peek at the moment meridians in the 187 cm version and the new Moment Commander. Both seem up your alley for a chargy playful ski, especially the meridians.
