Having mounted and skied on similar stiff skis with a tele set-up, (Bluehouse Shoots, Volkl Explosives, Atomic Powder Plus, BD Zealot) I'd recommend mounting them forward. I hope you're using a stiff binding like Hammerheads, Bishops, or NTN's, and a stiff boot, because otherwise, a stiff board like this is going to feel out of control. With the bigger skis, I like to find the narrowest part of the ski, and match it with the widest part of the boot. This is usually between -2cm and -4cm from chord center (exact middle of running length of ski.) Err on the tail side. You can go forward if you don't like them as far back, but I'd probably go with a more forward mount- maybe 3pin line (on boot) matched to 4cm forward of ski chord center.
