im looking at buying some skis that are non symmetrical by a small amount like -10 in the back would it be bad to center mount them based on measurements? Or is that just a myth ?

I kinda had a stroke reading this, but if -10 is the recommended mount point I would absolutely not mount them center

My camoxes are 12 wider in the tip than the tail and are center mounted due to unfortunate circumstances, they ski alright but I would much rather have the recommended mount
What skis are these anyways

mm, not cm. Had a mini stroke tryna figure out what you were talking about

and unless you’re skiing nothing but rails I would mount like -2.5. And if you are skiing nothing but rails, there are better skis for that purpose

I have a pair of Camox's mounted at -2.5cm and I like it way more than recommended, but I can see dead center being too far forward. I ended up at 2.5 back from center by measuring the center of the hard snow contact point and the sidecut and it ended up there
