whats up ns,
I just got a pair of 181 Kartel 116s and I’m mad excited to ride these babies as they’ve been my dream pow ski. I will pretty much be riding these only in powder and fine conditions. However, I do plan on skiing switch still a fair bit and am wondering if I should mount them at reccomended still (I think it is around -4 from true center) or maybe a bit forward from that. I’m 5”11 and about 160 pounds. Thanks for the help!

The line is perfect. Any further forward would sacrifice powder performance and at 4cm back it is already very centered for a powder ski as it’s designed for switch skiing.

Great skis btw!

I certainly wouldn't go any further forward than -4.
