Anyone have some tricks for breaking in tips and tails on new skis besides "butterz4deyz"?

I wasnt aware you had to break in skis before riding. Seems like buying skis to suit your type of riding would work better.

That is retarded.

My volkl steps felt like 2x4s out of the box and after 2 days of riding they have broken in and gotten way more fun to ride. Just bomb some groomers and carve them aggressively in the park, get them flexing and they will break in.

Ironically i got one pair that was buttery as hell and the other pair is a freakin board. Practically the same skis too just a little bit longer.

I massage mine with goat semen every day before I ski, helps break in the skis and acts as a great wax

Bounce in between moguls or ski across some moguls and zig zag all the way down the hill like a lil gaper.

Do this on the snow but also flex in your home on carpet. Also just keep on flexing them.

Good Luck.
