your skis wear different. like, the inside edges wear alot faster. when you flip skis, it increases thier lifespan a ton, but it makes them ride totally differnt. if your gonna do it, do it once or twice a season, not every other day.

I wear the same skis, on the same feet, alllll the time. That way one edge gets destroyed so hard, and the other one is still good, rather than destroying two edges completely.

I can tell the difference when skiing, so to make it easier I put a sticker on one ski to show that it's the left ski or whatever. If for some reason I do still have the wrong ski on the wrong foot I will usually stop mid-air on a 150ft gap and switch skis before completing my 900.

I ride motherships, therefore gorgeous girl in bikini with boom box must line up. Even if it werent for that, it trips me out when I'm riding the wrong ski on the wrong foot.

designate one from the other just so you can switch them up every other time you ski. That way they wear evenly, That is if you bindings have been tested with both boots.

i swap em from one side to another to keep the wear on the edges from rails balanced (back foot tends to get weared down faster)
