I got PE's, where should I mount them?

Im 5'2, 115-20 pounds, ride mainly all mountain and park, probably 40% groomers, 40% park and 20% trees. I like to ski fast, Im an advanced skier.

no, +5 from mid-sole, which is listed on all k2 skis.

+5 from mid-sole is -.25 from center

he's partially true. core center is +7.5 but true center is lilke +10 ( i cant remember the exact number). +4 or 5 would be perfect for what you do

true center is +12, and core center is +7.5. if you ski park only i would reccomend mounting them at +7.5. that is where they are meant to be skiied at for park only. this is where the K2 factory team skis their park only skis at. for skiing all mountain and park mount anywhere from +5 to +7.
