I’ve recently acquired a pair of wildcats and it’s gonna be my first non dedicated park ski and I’ve got no clue where to mount it, currently thinking about mounting 2-3 cm back

i’d go with 2 cm infront of the recommended line. that’s my go to for more directional skis. i think the rec on that is -6 so than you would be -4 which is pretty perfect for a directional ski in my opinion.
Have skied the 108 at recommended and +2. Rec is smoother turning, chargier, pretty much better in every way. If you wanted to mount behind rec you'd be better suited with the Countach.
Haven’t rode wildcats but my Kartel’s are mounted at rec at -4 and they feel very centered still and ski switch great. The -6 recommended point won’t feel too far back, maybe go -5 like some were saying but recommended will typically ski best.
Stoked for you picking these up! They’re gonna be a blast at big sky. It’s so so nice having a non park ski that will last for many seasons and can have nice edges.

I'd say -3 is good for a non-dedicated park ski. At least it is where I ski mine Wildcats 101. To me, it gives a feeling of little more shovel to push on, not very long tails, but imbalance is still not very noticeable while throwing tricks.
