Hey people,
So today im going to mount the bindings. But I dont know where to mount them. I really want to put them on factory recommended, as shown in the red circle on the image I send (sorry for the bad quality). Because i would like to ski some powder as well. But im afraid that would take too much tail away for skiing switch. What do you guys recommend?
What % are these skis going to be used in the park vs the rest of the mountain? Also get a tape measure and figure out how far the recommended line is from true centre of the ski.
AK_TO_COHow much powder will you realistically be skiing?
I will ski powder whenever I have the chance to but just off the slope or an area near the slope and not really deep powder snow like the one you find in the backcountry.

i would say 20% Park and the rest makes the 80%. So the skis also have a freestyle recommended mounting position and the factory recommended line is -3cm behind it. But the freestyle line is not true center. Sorry but at the moment i dont have a measure tape.

Okay, so this is going to be more of your all mountain jib ski then. I would say recommended is probably too far back if it is already 3cm back from the freestyle line. Freestyle line could be the ticket but can't be sure without knowing how far back it is from true centre (usually 2-4cm back from centre works well depending on how much switch skiing you think you are going to do).
zeke.obliqueGo -2 from core center feel like that would be good
How can i figure it out where core center is? I thought the freestyle recommended line on my skis were true center but turns out they are also set back a couple of cm
Without knowing what the recommended lines are in relation to length center (forget about core center) we don't have enough information to make informed recommendations.

I'll measure my skis at soon im at home sorry for the inconvenience

So I measured my skis from the tip of the nose and from there the freestyle line is appearantly 95cm away and the factory line 98,5 cm.
I'd say go freestyle recommended. I'm not sure if they changed it between the 2020 and the 2021 version, but I'm on freestyle recommended on mines (2020), it's about -2.25 from true center, and works great for the use you're describing

Cool. I havent skid for years now and these are my first pair of skis so i want them to be right.
I would not call it perfect for powder, but it's perfect for "do it all", it'll be fine in powder as much as you'll have fun in the park, skiing switch etc.
I've skied all the best pow in my life on true center mounted park skis. I have a blast anyway and really think the mount makes way less of a difference than the profile of the skis and skiing technique. My more powder oriented skis (that always happen to be out of service during the best powder days) are -2.5 or 3, and it's perfect.
