Big difference?: 2 cm

I have a pair of 2007 Salomon Flyers 151 cm long mounted 5 cm back from center. I was wondering if I mounted them 3 cm back from center if it would make a big difference for skiing switch (or just skiing in general). I weigh 85 lbs and I'm fairly new to skiing park. I probably ski around 65%all-mountain (BC) and 35% park. Any suggestions?

mount them at +1 , it'll be good for everything (that's from true center not core center)

1cm made a decent difference for me, no idea why. Maybe it's just cause I had to wait a few days before I got back on snow? 85lbs dude?

It really isn't worth remounting. You're just going to outgrow them anyway. A lot of kids think that remounting their skis will magically make them better skiers.

If I mounted the bindings 3 cm back from center would it be a big disadvantage for skiing all-mountain?

nope, 1 centimeter back is good for everything

also how tall are you, chances are your skis are too short for you

thats not to small of a ski, chances are if he is that short he is still young, and smaller skis (chin neck height) are better suited for them..
