Actually you are less likely to catch an edge when you keep your skis close together. Something everyone can always improve on though.

Came here to say this... Skiing with your skis together is just how you are supposed to ski. It's not just a park thing.

Don't ski with them touching unless you can afford 2-3 pairs per season

Yeah I actually don't literally make them touch because that's how I wrecked the sidewalls on my blends.

But when I started riding park I spread out
