I noticed today while looking at my skis that the mark for core center is not acutally in the middle of the ski. It is back a couple of centimeters from the center. What is the core center? I had always assumed that it meant the exact midpoint of the ski. Thanks for the help.

the exact center of the core material, in this case, wood. You are thinking of true center.

Nah guy youre all wrong, Core center is the center of the sidecut. True center is the actual center of the ski.

correct. core center utilizes the flex points, as well as the shape of the ski better than mounting true center

core center is where the binding matte is in some skis(sticky stuff that keeps your bindings in)/where the company suggests that you mount
