Wide Plus Non-center Mounted

Is anyone out there riding wide pluses with a more all-mountain focus and with them not mounted at center? I've found one person who said he mounted them at -1cm and liked that, but I'm curious if anyone else out there is doing something similar. It's been awhile since I've had center mounted skis and I do remember punching forward and going OTB on occasion when I probably shouldn't have...

Yeah i ride mine at -3 as an all mountain ski. They’re really fun but don’t actually “ski” very well. With that being said I’m not gunna replace them anytime soon.

They are real fun but I agree, took them up the ridge a few times. Nearly killed myself on some icy parts. I still love them.

Same here! They’re light enough to hike with which is nice. Cannot charge very well in them, though. I considered putting cast on them because they would make a very fun spring touring ski

Is the "don’t actually “ski” very well" aspect due to the mount point or just the fact that the skis aren't meant for hard charging?

It’s not the mount point. They’re park skis. If you’ve ever skied park skis all mountain then you know what I mean.

I mounted mine 2.5 back with ATK 16s and it was so fun. I remounted them center with park bindings because they are more fun in park
