theyre a pretty directional ski so the rec at -5 isnt super far back. could prob go to like -3 but idk further forward than that and it might have made more sense to get a different ski. if you mount at rec and dont like it i bet you could get a solid remount forward wherever you want it.

From the roof box review. They mounted -3.5 but don’t recommend going further forward.

“Despite the all-conditions chops, the Depart .01 is very much a ‘freestyle’ ski. On paper, it’s not particularly remarkable for park skiing (-5cm recommended mount, big tip/tail differential, etc) but it defies those numbers. The mounting point is key. That pointed tip doesn’t weigh much, so you can almost ignore it in terms of swingweight. I mounted at -3.5cm from true, because when I eyeballed it, that was pretty much the center of the contact points. It feels pretty close to center mounted like that, even if it doesn’t look it. I've heard some of the team go as far as -1, but I wouldn't personally. Even at -3.5, they feel fairly balanced in the air and easy enough to spin for the size, even though the tips are pretty chunky (both width and profile). They aren’t remarkably light, nor do they feel notably heavy, which for me, is fine. Don’t buy them if you compete or want to throw crazy spins. But then the new Depart brand threw the FIS rulebook in the trash, literally, so I suspect if that’s your thing, you won’t want to anyway. I like a wider ski on rails, so these felt natural to me, and on jumps, they are super solid.”

have pair at -4 and it’s sick. I wouldn’t go more forward. Things are so light no need to center em.
