mount them center, no matter what kind of skiing you will be doing. ive had 2 pairs both mounted center. they are the dopest skis.  ive skied them mounted a little back and they ski ok but center just feels better with the rocker it has. it seems like it was meantt to be mounted center.

what size ski do you normally ski on? 

given your age/height/weight the 179s MIGHT be okay, but if you're planning on growing horizontally/vertically then you might want the 189s.

centermounting does take away a whole bunch of length, as does the enormous rocker on them.
