Mounting Point Help (05/06 Sprayer BC's)

Need to know where to mount these skis. I have Scratch 120 WB bindings.
The skis are:
Rossi 05/06 Sprayer BC
176cm - 20.1m
120-88-113mm
Me:
5'11''
175 lbs.
I got these skis as my first twin tip and for use as mainly a powder/backcountry ski. I may try to hit the park once I grow some balls, but it is definitely not my priority. I'd say 70%powder, 20%groomed, 10%park/jumps.
(I searched before I posted this)

i got the same exact skis, i mounted them .5 inch in front of the line for park and all mountain, mount them exactly where they were recommended on the ski, it'll work perfect for everything trust me

get them mounted on the "center" line, as rossi has it, perfect for all mountian riding, and for that yet to come utah powder

There's only one line on the ski. The guys at the shop said it would be fine. I hope I didn't make a mistake.

Crap, I had them mounted at the recommended spot. I tried them out yesterday and they felt pretty good, although I could feel more tail than I'm used to.
I took them on a powder run at Snowbird (that I had to hike to) and they seemed to float pretty well.
The other thing I noticed is that I can't turn as quickly with these skis, and that could be due to the extra lenght/width.
Is there any real reason to get them mounted further back? Would it help with even more floatation and faster turning?
Thanks.

If you mount them further back they work better as a allmountain ski, and true center is best for park, they proably wouldn't turn faster if youd mount them further back but it would be a beter powderski. Rossignol normaly does a good job with theyr recomendet mountingpoints, so you probably didn't do anything wrong.
