I just bought the JO Pros, 2010, and i got them center mounted. We don't get powder days here, so i mainly ski park and groomed runs. I go out west to ski once a year maybe, where i will ski powder. Will the center mount be ok?

nope. if you're doing strictly park you want center mount, regardless of the ski

not really, most park skis arent totally symmetrical which means they will ride better mounted slightly further back, not too far, maybe 1-1.5 inches back, it also depends on your own preference, such as whether you ride switch a load or are a rail guy, then you should consider true centre

i think you mean 1-1.5 centimeters back, but that's neither here nor there.

anyway, you make a good point. they will ride on groomers better, but symmetricality has nothing to do with how they act on rails or in the air, and a further-back mount will only make skiing switch more difficult.

so again, for strictly park you want a center mount
