固定器位置设在哪里最好 - 同雪网 SkiChinese.com 北美滑雪论坛

The normal mount is of course the recommended position on all skis. This is typically the best position for a variety of conditions (powder, park, groomers, edge to egde quickness, etc). I find this to offer the most versatility on a ski. Msot expert skiers know how to move their body position so taht their CM hits different parts of the sweet spot of the ski. The skier will do this based on terrain they are skiing, and point they are in a turn. If you ski one terrain or do one type of skiing exclusively, you may want to specialize your skis to one of the other options. Being a racer, on all skis, regardless of type, I feel more comfortable on groomers when I am mounted in the proper position. I'll get to why in just a few lines.

A forward mount obviously decreases the amount of tip in front of you. Naturally this is great for creating equal swing weight for your skis, and makes it easy to land large drops/jumps and not end up on your back side. In tight places the skis will tend to hang the tails up on terrain features. Also, if you ski these skis too far froward, you will end up lifting the tail off the snow, so you rarely will see a rider skiing far forward on this type of mount. This is why I don't usually enjoy this mount on groomers. If a backseat driver were to get on the skis they would love them, not because they would fix how they skied, but the rider would now be over the sweetspot, even if they were still skiing in the back seat.

A rearward mount is something that I have only heard of in recent years. I have heard of it on powder skis most recently. This mounting position is great if you have NO problems moving forward over your tips. To get yourself over the sweet spot on the ski you have to always be up over your tips, or if you are working the ski in a freeride type situation, you have to be able to move back and forth over the ski, but if you get in the back seat... you better be able to get over the tip. This would be fun in powder - if you werent catching air. If you start dropping cliffs, you may want to get more tail behind you so you arent burying yourself or slapping the snow on every drop. With a short tail in powder you can easily sink the tail and use slight rotary to "break" and slow yourself down, but again you will have to move yourself forward again or you will constantly be fighting staying up near the sweet spot. I have also heard of similar mounts to this used in SL racing, but that is slightly off topic.
