your edges will either fall out or the rust will come off on the first run.

rust is perfectly normal, and the first run will wash it off

you really shouldn't. the rust particles will go into the snow which will later melt and evaporate and put rust particles into the air which will cause global warming and ruin skiing forever.

. . . go get a kitchen knife, tape it to your bike wheel, then start pedaling, and grind them yourself.  HA HA, GENIUS!

The best thing to do is keep a cloth or old towel in your car to dry your edges after a day at the mountain. If you don't your edges will eventually start deteriorating.

Just like a skate edge, its never a bad idea to wipe it off after use

yah I did a rail that was made of rust, so it seemed... I thought it would grip but it actualy slid pretty well. on your edges you dont even have to worry, just its gonna suck for gripping ice

i usually wipe down the edges on my good skis at the end of the day, but in your case, the rust should disappear pretty much once you get skiing, unless its really rusty
