Can someone with experience comment on mounting these skis forward? I'm hearing a few (1-2) cm in front of the progressive line and I read that Mark Abma skis these 5cm in front of progressive. I am a very aggressive expert skier and I like to charge hard down every type of terrain but one thing I am not willing to do is sacrifice powder performance. I want them to float, bottom line and if mounting forward is going to cause the tips to dive then I'm not interested in doing so.

This is for the 182s. Talked to Cody Townsend, he mounts them on the forward line. He told me Abma finds the exact balance point and mounts them there, ~3cm in front of the forward line. My first pair I mounted standard, second pair mounted between the lines. Didn't notice much difference. I've always liked the standard mount, but others swear by the forward mount... I don't think you'll have a problem with a forward mount, plenty of tip rocker for the pow. Not much info on the 190s as of yet.
