Just got the moment wildcat 108 tour with the cast freetour/look pivot bindings. I spin threes, hopefully flips and 7's this year. Doing about 80% resort and 20% tour this year. I ski at Whistler and am 17, 5'7, 135lbs on 174cm skis. Should I mount them at recommended or push up 2 cm?

If you spend a lot of time spinning and flipping, or just ski with a heavy park or freestyle influence, go +2 from rec line.

This location is denoted by the farthest left triangle on the left sidewall of each ski.

FWIW, i just mounted my bananas at +2 and have a similar style (havent skied them yet). Ghost trains also rip at +1.5.

the triangles on the sidewall always come in clutch.

Will pushing them up 2cm from recommended negatively affect my touring/backcountry experience?

Not really, you'll have a touch more tail to get around on kick turns on the way up but I've ridden mine at +2 in the backcountry and it's not a huge difference. Downhill will be same performance as inside the resort.

Just listen to @hot.pocket . I've owned quite a few Moments, and they've all fucking rocked on the rec line. Especially the Wildcat/Bibby shape, it's been around forever and is completely fucking dialed.
