it happens when you don't wipe them down after skiing and then leave them for a while. just ski and it'll go away and next time wipe your edges with a cloth or rag or something after you're done skiing
don't worry about it though, it's just a little rust coating

You can take care of the rust with a non-soap scotch brite pad

file them them but do not make them to sharp or they will suck on rails and ALWAYS wipe them down every time they touch water
