Center!! So fat you gotta put em center. This way you can take advantage of tip and tail in the pow

I've got '07-08 EPs with jesters and I mounted @ suggested. I am pretty sure the suggested is "center". If you go any further forward you are going to regret it. The skis have an effective edge of 150-160cm, so they ski very short for a 186cm. Also, I have noticed, when side hilling/side stepping it is easy to feel like your weight is constantly on the front tip...because the mount point is centered and the fact that the skis are stoopid soft.

Switch riding is silly, once the rocker pops you up it feels like a park ski on groomers...shifty slarve re-vert switch nasty

ski is made for landing switch so center if you'll be doing that
if you're not sure just go with recommended, it's where pollard feels the ski skis best

I just bought some, but they havent shipped yet.....im gonan measure them once they come in and see where the actual reccommended is then decide from that

I do agree with the others though....Pollard probably put the recommended mark in a good place lol

I've been skiing EP's for 2 years now and am mounting my new ones at recommended, like I did with my others. Like others have said, thats where EP designed the ski to be mounted, and that is where it skis best. Don't mess em up and mount off the line. They are no problemo skiing switch in pow at the line.

I have my EP's mounted .5 cm back from center. It stilll gives me plenty balance for skiing forward and switch in the pow. Do you ski switch alot in the pow? Cause if you do i would mount them in the same place i did.

I think pollard skis switch more than just about anyone.  He skis recommended.  I think recommended would work for anyone.

After talkin to someone from line I have heard that you dont wanna travel too far from the reccomended since the ski gets too thin from the specific flex the ski has...
