First off its not called railing, its called jibbing/doing rails or anything else, just not railing.

Second off welcome to newschoolers, and thirdly doing rails obviously aren't good for your skis, but they should not get damaged from light use.

if you mean sliding, or grinding, yes. slamming your edges on metal def. isnt good for them

Damn, I thought this thread would be about fat people having sex. Oh well. But as for rails on your skis, it will do some damage, but unless you hit rails ALL the time you should be ok.

It's not to bad, your edges will get rounded, and maybe a few cracks, but they're definately won't break.
