So I have recently been ignoring my ski edges like many people on here and saw that one of my edges is super thin and basically like melted. i always have the same ski on the same foot and i think thats what caused from gripping rails. so i will switch skis on my feet. i tried sharpening and that did nothing. i cant buy new skis so what should i do ns? how do i fix my edge from being completely destroyed?

Okay let's see if I got it right......You are a park skier....your edges are worn to nothing....and you want to fix them.

If the above is correct then don't worry....I round my edges on purpose specifically to hit rails...you need not worry about sharpenning them....they are park skis right? You are lucky that they are not cracked or ripped out. Just keep shredding and forget about it. Getting attached to your park skis is useless, they will always succumb in one way or another so just ride them as long as possible...

No worries....they are park skis and as I mentioned before, they have served and continue to serve their purpose....take some pleasure in destroying them....round them off with a grinder and hit it....Sharp edges only cause trouble on rails, rounding them over actually helps the edge last longer because instead of being riped out they will slide, not to mention you will be sliding better to (you must have eaten it after trying to sharpen them eh? Tsk)
