I had to think about where to mount them for a long time. I ended up mounting them between the second set of quick mount holes. This is approximately 3cm back from the measured center. So far I really like them here. They're sick for landing and skiing switch. I haven't skied them in deep pow yet so I can't really say if they'll dive or not, but I really doubt it. I mounted them somewhat close to center so landing and skiing switch is easy.

ok..ive been reading soo much on center mounting skis..and shit..and I want to sooo. bad..I think im seiouly mountin my lizzies true center..One because spinning on skis wit back mount is harder and feels wierd..rails are harder to lock on..i can do them but still..switch will be insanly fun and alot easier..and Also I live in the east..in VT..so yea..I ride mostly groomers some poww when there is some..and alot of park..I like rails and boxes and like to butter..and jump..so yea..What do u think..I know Im gonna get alot of dumb things for this but i wanna hear em..First I used to board so the sidecut is sick..wider is better..more stable..these r reasons im gettin elizabeths..the flex is symetrical so they should be fine centered..because Ive heard people talking bout not mountin center on skis like my chronics..these will be alot like invaders but super fat..thats what im thinking..so let me know what u guys think..

^^  I have lizzies, I'm pretty sure mine are pretty close to center.  You want to be in the middle of the sidcut

well the lizzies do seem a little out of place if you ski mostly groomers.  too bad the anthems aren't available cause you'd probably love those, oh well
