whats the best way to find the center of my new skis?

it is not marked on them!

do yo measure the running length then half it?
balance it ? or should they all be the same?

any help would be good

or even if its not marked look for like a littl darker line in the color or lighter. on the old dynastar concepts they have that. there black then theres a small little black line

take the length of your skis and divide by 2.54. now you have converted the length of your skis from centimeters into inches. divide this number by two. now you know how long half of your ski is. get a tape measure and measure from the tip and mark this spot. then measure from the tail also to double check that it's correct. the marked spot is the center. if you want to mount a little back from center, measure back from the spot you marked. tada!

^no problem. be advised, though, that that's how you find the EXACT center of the ski. i don't know how to find the core center on a ski other than just eyeballing it.
