you can't build an edge back up, you can try to sharpen them a little but if they are really dull, you would have to make the edge really thin to make it nice and sharp. Sharpen them a little, but dull edge under boot doesn't matter that much.

yup yup, but dule under foot does matter alot if youre carving on hard pack alot, because you cant hold a good edge.

if you are trying to sharpen the side edge and they are still not getting sharp it means that your base edge has too much of a bevel (maybe from grinding)to fix this you need to flaten your base bevel by taking them into a ski shop and getting a fresh grind or buy a base edge file guide and a file and go at it but this will take forever. trust me on this shit i am a skiracer and i tune a fair amount of skis
