I just picked up a set of the marksman from a local homie off Newschoolers. I was wondering what would be the best mounting posistion for the 163. I’m 14 and about 5,4 and 105 pounds so fairly light and less powerful than an adult . I want to rip big mountain so throwing some drops with these but also want to carve hard and hit the park for a lap once in a while.

I have the 170’s and mounted them directly at the recommended point. Definitely don’t go back from that but they carve insanely well on groomers and shred all mountain well. Also they aren’t really built for true center so stay away from that. I think recommended is -3 so stay between -1 to -3 but go -3 if you want all mountain.

Personally have mine mounted at -4 from center can’t remember what that is forward of recommended but it’s good for rippin all mountain and cliffs etc. Swing weight feels pretty decent at that mount point but rails feel weird, could just be me but it feels funky. Heard positive results from anywhere between -2 from center to -5.5 they have a pretty big sweet spot I feel.

-3. Still easy to spin jumps and rails, but carves forward and switch amazing. Awesome skis

Getting them mounted in a few days! I think I’m going to go with -4 from center. Any options on if this is a good/bad point for big mountain ripping? I’m only 100 pounds so I’d ont know if that makes a difference in where I should mount them

You should be stoked on them at that spot especially if you are concerned for big mountain rippin dawg! -4 is still easy to spin but you can let them run pretty good to.
