Hi Everyone,
I checked the search on this multiple times and haven't been able to find a precise answer really. I am 5'11" 195lbs with 50% park and 50% all mountain on a 2012/13 185cm Line Blend. Should I mount these at -1 or -2 from center?
Thanks,

Just mount them at center. They still ski really well on things other than park.

Are they still performing well in park? or are they more of an all mountain ski for you?

I used to have a pair and they pretty much shredded everything. A really good in between ski that skis well in park as well as all mountain

Hmmm it makes me think I should mount these at -2 or possibly possibly -1?

The flex was horribly uneven. They are decently stiff under the boot but ridiculously soft in the front and back 30/40 cm. I found that when I was buttering, and especially buttering at speed, once my weight got past a certain point, the ski just folded in half. I had to be really careful not to put too much weight in to butters or it was game over. Bear in mind I'm 135lbs and was on 178s.
I know people like them and I usually like soft skis, but the soft flex has to be gradual and consistent. I skied them maybe 10 days and then gave up.

True centre. If you are riding the 183 is that the old model before the capwall? Because those felt much better to me than the new capwall with the stupid core.

You probably disliked them because you mounted them at center, I would really recommend at least 2 back from center, for all mountain skis a center mount kind of destroys everything unless they are fully symmetrical

I have mine at -3 or -4, I can't remember, for all mountain and love them, favorite ski I've ridden, good flotation and can still spin with ease being a little behind center

I ended up mounting mine -1.5 from center.
All times are Eastern (-4)
