Edge Question

K i am a park rat (for good reason tho, i ski a hill) and i of course have dull edges, very dull actually. And i seem to be slipping out alot in landings for jumps and shit. I want sharper edges for that, but i like the dullness on rails, etc... So i was wondering if i should keep em dull, sharpen them. Or if there is a way to just keep from slipping out.

thanks

keep em dull. Just stomp things and you won't slip out. and the edges are prolly only dull underfoot, you should be fine.

sharpen them and buy some 50 dollar skis for rails.

Sharpen the tips and tails. Keep the waist dull

leave them dull, and just land on balance. or sharpen them, either way.

the only problem with that is that some people are lazy.
