This is what I do. Cus I think I'm a park rat, but we only have one rail. It works really well despite the super icy days. Heck I even think it's fun sliding down sideways on the ice with them detuned edges

forgot to say i just detune underfoot and sharpen everything else. but if you tune your own skis, be sure to detune them contact points on any ski
