Like on moment or on3p skis if you get into a deep deep butter can the squared tip stop your momentum? Mono thoughts

Are you buttering that hard? Magnus doesn’t have issues with it so you’ll probably be fine

I wouldn't think so, if your tips are catching in the snow you're doin it wrong

In my mind it would help butters.

square tips = more surface area in contact with snow (during butter) = easier to balance on while flexin.

I honestly find on3ps easier to balance on the tips rather than other skis with a tapered tip.

No issues with buttering but the square tips create a lot of wind resistance so you'll have a harder time clearing those big jumps
