the bevel is the degree your edge is set up at.

i wouldnt do it unless you only ski park and nothing else. like the t hall pros i hear are the most smooth for rails but hte shittiest pieces of shitty shit anywhere else. and once you do it, the edges will never be the same

^ What he said.

My edges are automatically beveled by rails. Takes less than a day.

if you're that worried, you can have your edges done at a 1 or 2 degree angle, which'll help you lay into a carve harder, and will also, in theory, keep your edges a little farther off the rail.

My PEs have a 1 degree base bevel and a 1 degree sidewall bevel, they rule!

the tanners are fine all over the mountain, the reports of them being shitty outside the park are misleading. They ski like a regular ski, unless you're skiing ice I guess, for that type of snow I wouldn't know.
