Hey guys, I recently went on a ski trip for the first time in 7-8 years, I had a blast riding in the park, not so much in the powder, occasionally went on some speed runs on the steeper hills with my friends who dont ride park.

I ended up buying the Armada ARV 96, I had too much fun to not invest in my own skis, but if I ride park like 80% of the time and center mount them, would that impact me riding with my friends occasionally if I just go for high speed, you know first man down to the ski lift, probably a dumb question but as I said, I havent been on skis in 7-8 years.

The factory position is what I did. I don't hit rails yet though. I think it's about 2.5 cm back. They ski mountain pretty well from that spot.

I have mine center mounted and I still feel like they ski perfect everywhere. I ski way more all mountain than park. Depends on where you ski. I am on the east coast so there's not much powder. I would say 1 cm back if you get some snow sometimes

1cm back from center sounds like it would work well for what you want to use these skis for
