Are Volkl's big mountain/backcountry freestyle skiers using this as a replacement for the chopstick? Coming from a -1cm from true center choptick, what would be a good mounting point for the Shiro?

I did. I only ski the Shiroa now in powder, no more ChopStick. Some of the guys still prefer the Chopstick, but they have switched to the Shiroa as well.

UT Marker Volkl Rep - I'm assuming you mean +1 or +2 from the traditional line as indicated on the ski?

Ben, not sure if your Shiro mounting position question has been answered yet... If you ski switch a lot don't be afraid of moving forward +3 and beyond. If you are a more traditional directional skier then +1 to +2 has been working great for athletes and company reps alike.

Not sure but I just saw this year's TGR movie and Ian Mackintosh absolutely slays it on these skis. Charging spines up in AK.
