So I pulled the trigger on the 182's. Any mounting suggestions (in terms of position, e.g. classic or progressive)? I'll be mounting Fritshci Freerides. I'm 5'9", a buck 60. I'm an expert, aggressive skier, but don't really plan on landing switch, if I can help it. I was thinking of mounting between classic and progressive. Any thoughts?

Joey, After skiing for this season, are you happy with this set up? -2cm from Center. Is this -2cm from Progressive or actual balanced center?

Mounting progressive is clearly not what you want. Doing so would help you have a very different feel for the ski and it would make turning a lot easier. The classic stance will give you a very traditional feel and have you rather back-seat. In between will still give you a little bit of the centered feel with a bit of a classic feel as well. This will also give you a bit of a chance to land switch if you just happen to throw a 180 off of a little feature. It's all up to you bud.

I have my 182's mounted at -2cm from centre and they are fantastic right there. But I am not a charger - I like a little more control and tighter turns so if you like a little more speed and sweeping turns go a little more progressive.
