I don’t know the mount point on them, but I’d just measure yourself to make sure. Go boot center for these measuring tape the full ski tip to tail, divide by two and mark with a bit of masking tape and a sharpie

Always measure because sometimes ski graphics get printed incorrectly. You should measure it yourself too, slap a piece of tape with a line on it (even if it's the same as the line on the topsheet) and that will help the shop mount your skis correctly.

Measure!!!!! When I mounted my armadas there was a logo that seemed to be in the exact middle of the ski and it wasn’t, I’m glad I measured or I would’ve been pretty pissed.

Making me rethink myself… I didn’t measure and just went off that line, chances are it’s pretty much center but to make sure I’d measure. Mine are probably actually mounted -3 but oh well😉

watch out, that doesn't always work, a lot of times they think you mean sidecut center

the only foolproof way to do it is measure yourself, make a very clear line, and mark it. i walk in with a big white line and a sticky note on it saying "midsole line here" or something equally simple and literal
