Where is the best spot to mount these skis... I have gathered that one person mounted them at +6 but isn't that a bit much?

+6 worked great. No tip dive in fairly deep heavier snow that I felt. Seems like it nails that sweet spot with all the tail rocker length. Not very much flat area behind the rear heel at +6. Eliminated the 'wheely' effect in pow for the most part unless you really wanted them to. Worked fine for the groomers too. Personally would not go less than +4 or +5 unless you have a really big boot. I use a 316mm 27.5 shell at +6.

+6 for sure not just for Seth. the mounting point doesn't give you much tail. incase you land in the backseat you do need some tail. also it will help when riding switch. you will still float like a cork in nipple deep plus 6 but +4 will work out well to if you think +6 is to much but really you shouldn't go less than +4 for optimal performance.
