each groove in the ski gives the edge another contact point with the snow. which should help with carving and traction hence "magna-traction"

The edges are like, wavy, so when you roll it on edge, only like 6 points of contact are between you and the groomer/ice, which makes the edge grip the snow like mad, so ice wont be a problem ever, its like the perfect east coast ski

The snowboards work great, skis shouldn't be any different.

do the wavy edges start to straighten out after you use them on rails a lot?

They ski almost like anything else except they kill it on ice. And the wavy edge has no negetive effects on rails. It's really hardly even noticable when you are looking at them. I would say they will set the standard for hard pack environments. Think of it like having super sharp edges that you can still jib with.

the snowboards are sick. the skis are no different then regular skis except they have more contact points for better control so its not bad at all.
