I would mount core center. You would really have no reason to put them forward at all. I have mine at core center and they are great in pow, on groomers, ice, I used them in a race league last year for fun. You can still take them in the park for a few jumps and rails, riding switch is still easy on them. Core Center in my opinion.I think what he meant to say is right on the recommended line from the factory. cord center would ski horribly all mountain. I think the recommended mounting point is 5 or 7 cm back and is the way to goI agre with Ty. 2008-09 ARV midsole mark factory seting is -7cm from true center as an all mtn backcountry ski.(Measure tip to tail and divide by 2 to get true center - 185 / 2 = 92.5cm) do not go more than -5 the ski will be good for swicth and park but your backcountry ride may suffer.... Core center is typically where the recommended line is at. That is always the terminology that has been used in the ski shops I have worked at. Hence why I said core center. When you say cord center you must be inferring true center? which would indeed be very bad for all mountain. I have have mine at core center (-7 cm) as stated above.
