i just got my new skis and i was wondering who out here dulls the edges a little on new skis so they don't catch on rails. i have heard a 2 degree bevvel works, anyone done it?

Its not really necessary. After five slides youll be ok, Ive never had new skis catch. If you really want to, theres no real science to it, just take a file or sharpening stone and dull it very slightly.

I thought the same thing, because i'm stupid.

I was lazy and didn't do it, and well... it didn't do anything, I didn't catch a single edge on rails.
