it will make your edges last alot longer...because as theyre scharp the rail pull on them...if u start out dull then its just smooth

meh, dont file them. Filing takes off soo much material, and you need as much edge material as you can get. I say just get them sharpened at a shop with a 2 or 3 degree base bevel, that means the edges will be slightly raised, but not ground down. It saves the edge material and allows your skis to turn and do well in the pipe as opposed to just dulling them down

i would find some way to dull your edges , but only do it on the side of your leading ski so you still keep alot of your grip on ice.

oh and i ski with alot of snowboarders and they all say its really hard for them to catch an edge when they boardslide and whatnot

don't. just get your edges done at something that's not 90. 1-2 degree bevel is good, because you can lay into a carve turn harder, and it keeps the edge off rails too.

Sliding anything metal will round your edges down to little round humpy things. If your edges are real important to you, i suggest buying a set of bitch sticks to screw up in the park.

sandpaper is the best way to dull them

The guy above is trying to say that the creator of this thread is a snowboarder but wants help so pretends he's a skier.

ha!

I wouldnt file your edges, but try and dull them a little on rails or with wood or something.
