i ski the east coast, Whiteface mostly, and i was wondering if i should de-tune my edges. i do rails and stuff and i tend to catch edges and slide out a lot. What should i do? thanks

If you plan on hitting rails, yes.  There is nothing more frustrating than going for a few laps through the park only to realize that you will probably kill yourself 80% of the time on rails because your skis aren't detuned enough.

Absolutely, but you probably should have another pair of skis that aren't fucked that you can actually ski in. Tuned edges are a must for east coast skiing. But for lapping the park you should definitely detune.
