I always detune my skis a little bit. Basically right after I get a tune I go up to a ski rack and run the length of each 3 times. Its perfect.

i started tails first, but my skis are centered, maybe a nose would be easier for you

if you live out west detune them all the way, with the exception of my ANT's I detune all my skis the entire effective edge length...
dont tell anyone, but it makes butters a lot easier among other things

just ski
your edges will suck eventually
have an honorary nose/tail day to dull them

i've always thought tail/heal presses were easier.. especially if you dont have a true center mount, but even if you do, i think tail/heal is easier

I'd say don't detune at all. I let it happen naturally
