Want the 2.0 for waist width because I ride Midwest with the occasional out west trip. Love skis around 100 waist. I want the 3.0 because they aren't symmetrical and I could mount them back a little but I'm afraid the 3.0 are too wide for where I ski. Have always mounted a little back from center on skis that were not symmetrical and have never had problems skiing switch. I'm not sold on the 2.0 idea of a center mounted symmetrical all mountain ski. Would it be a bad idea to mount like 2cm back?

Pretty sure the 2.0 is recommended at 5cm back or something. The Candide point is ~2cm back from centre which should help you

I've got the 2.0s and ski them at center and they ski really nice. Super responsive and fun for laps outside the park

All mtn line is about 5cm back.. I mounted a set of 184s there and they're fun everywhere. If you want them strictly for jibbing around, then go on the candide line. I bought mine as ex demo's and tried them mounted forward and back. They are more stable at speed if you go further back. Fun ski either way.

Get the 2.0 and mount them on the Candide line. Best skis I've ever been on. Skied 70+ days on them.
