use Scratch BCs on rails if you suck on rails. I hit like 7 rails today and my edges, which were brand new, are torn to shreds. they are like TM edges

That sucks for you...guess Back Country skis don't belong in the park...maybe the FS's do though

I had the FS before too, but suprisingly the BC edges dont hold up as well. Now, I will admit that I ate it a few times today, all by means losing my balance backwards, i.e., really ripping up the skis on the rail, but still, they are gruesome

I have been using mine non stop even though they are supposed to be my powder skis. The edges are fine on mine I have a couple hundred slides in about 20 days on them and they are great. I even have a core shot right up against the edge where I slide (from rocks and collision at breck) and still it doesn't pull out or anything, I have sharpened em 3 times in 20 days, this helps because it makes the edge square, check the tip and tail and see if the edge stretched, if so its no good. - My lbf's still hold up better as far as core shots, general edge maintence and sidewall chips, by far.

did you detune them first? that really helps keep the edge fat, and they dont wear down nearly as much. sucks though, the bcs are sick everywhere else it seems
