Hi guys!

Just got the brand new Armada Arv 96 170cm and I felt like that I should mount it a bit back, because last year I skied like 3 different park skis mounted dead center or a few cm back amd those felt unstable on the groomers at high speeds.

Now I mounted my armada’s -5cm back and it looks a bit strange.
I ski all-mountain but I like to do a few laps of park every day.

Do you think the -5cm should be ok, or I should remount them?

They'll be fine.

Are there two lines on this year's ARV? I have the 16/17 and there are two lines -2.5 and -5 roughly.

Clearly it’s too late but there are two sizes larger of arv 96 so you could also go to a longer more stable ski in the future and then mount more to the center like you’ve tried before and get the best of both worlds.

Just got my 2018-19 ARV 96s last week. Just one line on this year's. Looks like they did away with the further back "all-mtn" line.

Yes

Why don't you not worry about it, go put a few days on them and if you're really having trouble think about a remount.

I hope so, thank you for your help ;)
I can’t wait to ski on them. Hopefully in a few weeks time.
I was just afraid that bcs of the place of the mount it wont be that playful.

yeah i'd just ski them and if you hate it you can decide to remount at -2.5

they're mounted at the more conservative, farther back mount point but armadas arent mounted too far back anyway. those will be 100% good to go (and will carve the best out of all the choices). if you find that you realllly want less nose and more tail then you can remount but def don't do that right now. and keep in mind we're talking about a difference of 2.5cm
