Does anyone have any experience with these skis? Just bought a pair and I'm torn on where to mount them (recommended. center, true center?) These will be used mainly for park days as I have other skis for for big mtn/pow etc...

Don't have any experience with the poacher, but for park skis i tend to go -1cm or -1.5cm, still feels centered but the ski performs much better

I ride 2cm back of center cuz I bought used demos, honestly it’s pretty far back for my liking but I actually haven’t had any problems landing or skiing switch at all, and they fucking rip out of the park, I would go 1cm or 1.5cm though

I had mine mounted at dead center and loved them. Halfway through the season I blew the heal mount on them and the only option was to mount them 2.5 inches back because the bases were rotted. They honestly skied pretty identical to dead center. You'll be safe anywhere from true/ -3 cm! Have fun on them, they are a sick ski!

Also, there is a "midsole" line and an actual indented line in the top sheet of the ski. Im assuming the indented line is true center, and the midsole line is the recommended mount point???

1cm back from center is awesome, as long as you have a pretty centered stance you can drive the ski pretty well from there and they feel pretty balanced.
