i think line makes some edgeless skis that are specially designed for urban. might be expensive though, just use some old skis if you have a pair lying around.

don't steal rentals, that just causes resorts to raise there lift tickets to pay for all the gear they have to replace at the end of every season

Whenever one ski doesnt tickle my fancy anymore and is in bad condition, i make them my urban skis. Luckily i have two good set of skis now, and an urban pair, that are fun on the mtn.
