I'm 16 y/o and a intermidiate-adv skier. I like to ski all over the mountain, powder, park, carving etc. I'm 65kg (145lbs) and 175cm (5ft 9).

Depends on how much time you spend in park vs all mountain vs powder. Park performance would be better closer to center or around -1.5cm. For better all mtn and powder performance drop that back more towards the recommended mounting point.

A lot also comes to your preference and where you like to be on your skis. Some people prefer to be more centered for the feel while others might prefer the recommended either back point. Depends your style of skiing and type of terrain ylu mostly hit

I ski mine at +4 which is ~3.5cm from true center. No park on them but no real pow either. I like them there, but I wouldn’t go more forward unless I skied mainly park. For skiing pow maybe I’d go only +2, but I love +4 for everything. 188cm/26.5 boot.

I have my arv 96s at -2.5 and they are perfect for everywhere on the mtn

I will echo what others have said about mounting them +3 or 4+. That would be the best compromise point between park, powder, and all mountain. If you are wanting a little more of a pow oriented all-mountain ski +2 would work and still be a lot of fun. If you mount it recommended I think you lose the playfulness of the 100 benchetler.
