Walls with schizo?

hey i am thinking about the walls as my one ski quiver aside from pow days as i live in AUS! would mounting them with schizo be a waste of time because they are symmetrical or would a symmetrical ski perform better all mountain with the binders back from centre? other ski recommendations needed. i ski about 40% park and 60% all mountain (steeps, bumps and needs great edge for groomers.) also needs to be bomber because i dont want shit edges.

mods will do it. the wall from what i hear (never ridden them) are a great ski fr the whole mountain. However, if you plan on skiing pow i would suggest something a little thicker but moving the binding back for all mountain riding will work fine on these skis

I would not recommend it.  There is no point of getting a symmetrical ski if you are gonna mount anywhere but center.  They will be awkward mounted back.  It sounds like you want k2 extremes, you can get them with the schizo inserts in the ski so you have no mounting holes, they are just as stiff as walls, and will do much better all around.

dont spend the money on the schizo, the walls are fine everywhere on the mountain with a center mount. ive had pow in the trees, crud on groomers, bumps, ice, packed pow... you get the point. these skis kill everything if you want a somewhat stiff park ski and do some all mountain.

 go try out the volkl bridge its more of an all-mt ski and only 5mm wider.. I have the old walls (the karma) its 87 or 88 under foot and its a killer all-mt ski, I like better than my dynatsra ledgend 8000.

I rode the walls for a year and IMO they are some of the nicest skis ive ridden.  Great pop but yt fair stiff still...super fun jib ski..and I have teh normal jesters..no schizo tho..but marker makes great bindings so Id say great combo!

The walls are a symetrical ski and are meant to be mounted true center. schizos would be a waste of money in my opinion. just get some jesters center mounted

Get the walls and just center mount them. They ski really well everywhere except pow (though it's still manageable).
