Post pictures of your edges!
Let's see some shitty beat up edges to compare with our own.
And please include how many days you have skied them.

Starting out. Not that rounded underfoot, only had around 40 days on them.

Both skied at the same resort on the same rails....clearly there's a quality difference.

The difference in quality is insane! The ON3P's look almost new, just a little rounded underfoot.

NO ONE WAS COMPLAINING, WE WERE JUST POSTING PICTURES. AND I THINK WE ARE AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF SLIDING RAILS.

JUST A PSA

SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT I HAVE SEEN SO MANY TIMES PEOPLE COMPLAIN THAT THEIR SKIS LOST THEIR EDGES AND SOME HOW THEY ARGUE THAT HITTING RAILS SHOULDNT DO THAT TO THEIR SKIS.

i'm really shocked at the condition of my edges. never tuned them in any matter. they're OG K2 disorderlys and they've seen rails and urban and not so much as a crack. my bases are plenty gouged, even one where i thought i was going to rip out a lot of edge but it never came out. i'll post pics at some point

This thread should not assume equal wear was given to every model. My bases look perfect after 100 days because I avoid rocks and rails.
