standard tune is typically 1 degree base bevel and 2 degree side bevel.

If you are east coast and need to use edges use the 88 side, if a good edge is not that important, use the 90, which will make your edges actually a 91 degrees, so rails could arguably be a little less grabby, but the skis overall will probably suffer.

There is a lot of techniques and information on here, just do a search in the forums and you ahould find a lot of info.
