ya it is. i tryed it once and all like slivers and shit got into the base of the skis and like it made this huge scrape. so ya it wasnt a good idea. it would work for like wat they did in war or watever where u go up and tap on it kus it is just putting on then hopping off. but sliding along it kills it

ya were talking about differnt things, one is where you build a quater up to a tree and stall on it and the other is atually sliding a tree as a rail

all the bark has to be gone and most likely if your edges are sharp you'll dig in(if the tree is rotting or like soaked in and damp), make sure its smooth and all divets and limbs are sanded down.

dont do it unless you wax the tree with 1000 cans of spray or with 100 rub on wax things, thats how my binding got ripped out of my ski
