What to do with my Bentchetlers

Just got a pair of 2014 Bentchetler's 192cm for a killer deal and they came already mounted in a traditional stance, I like to ski all over the mountain (excluding park, already have skis for that) from chutes, to powder days to chunder and enjoy spinning and skiing switch, was curious if i should center mount them or keep them in the recommended mounting spot. Im 6'3-6'4 165ish would like to have these skis for skiing all over Bridger Bowl and Big Sky and some sidecountry so Im kind of leaning toward center mount.

Thanks NS

The 2015 and 2016 Chetlers are recommended center mount.

I have 2015s with giffons demos on them, so I have done a little bit of playing around with them. So far I have found my personal favorite spot to be -2 from true center.

There is a thread around here some where that Ben himself chimed in on!

Try them out at least at the recommended or wherever they mounted them at. Sucks you may have to re drill but all good...you may like them at that spot.

For all my time skiing this has always stumped me, do they base the mount on the back binding or the boot center, can any of you guys tell how these are mounted? It looks like -3 but from side looks like -1 haha thanks for the help and sorry for the Jerry Moment.

it's mounted based on the ski boot centre. Click your boot in and there's usually an arrow or line showing the mid point of your boot.

Center mount. My good buddy is an atomic rep. Decided to get Chetlers this year for pow. Atomic recommends a center mount. Fucking best ski you'll ever ski. Love them
