Edge tuning

69°

this was a pretty informative article, even though my edges will probably never see more than a gummy stone or some 300 grit sandpaper

Ski tech here, to maximize durability and predictability on park skis I tune to 1° base, 1° side, with an aggressive de-tune with a file underfoot and at the tip and tail. I then finish with a full-length de-tune with a gummi stone to remove any burrs. Most of my skis only get tuned once in their lifetime, when I first get them, and to be honest you can still carve even a completely mangled edge on anything but bulletproof ice, so don't fuss too much about it.

Did you use a file holder?

snowmosexualDid you use a file holder?

Nah and probably wrong type of file to boot , I got no business sharpening edges I’d probably f it up anyhow I can wax well so that saves me some $
just wanted to know the degree for edge tuning for a more surfy feel so I can tel my tuner what I want
