Assuming you don’t have billy goats with different shapes, do you guys clip into your skis with a left and right in mind or do you just ski either ski on either foot. Personally I have to assign a which ski is for which foot or else I can’t ski right
KCoCMskiing same feet every time will fuck your front inside edge more quickly
Yeah if you're only skiing park, its good to alternate. When i was still skiing park occasionally, i would wear my skis one way and then when I skied the mountain I wore them the other way, my inside edge was much sharper when I skied all mountain and was dull when I skied park.
I do in my head and most of my graphics are across 2 skis (as opposed to a single graphic per ski) but I make a point to alternate them regardless of how it looks
SuspiciousFishI bashed an edge on my old skis so I make a point to have that on the outside. My other topsheets and L/R so I make a point to have it line up right.
Same. I think my DINs and BSL's might also differ between skis but I don't know for sure
I don't care about top sheets.
I always rotate my skis every time I stop for........well, you know.
I am quite anal about edge wear.
I like to keep things even as possible.
Folks bring me skis, and I can tell them about how they ski, by the way the edges are worn.
They are blown away when I am correct.
Rotate your skis always, and ride switch half the time! ;-)

Yeah i kinda have to… otherwise i get called out on it
Mine don't matter which is right or left but I don't hit enough rails yet to have to rotate them. I'm kinda obsessive on having the same ski on the same feet every time. I did the stickers on the right ski for all my skis but my current ones have stickers everywhere .
Since buying a pair of mossy log Wide’s, it’s been very hard telling which ski is for which foot based on the graphics, but at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter unless you’re using a pair of Knee bindings on your park skis for some reason.

I have put about 12 seasons on a pair of skis always running the same L/R. I am legit curious you have to say about them. No park though, just snow and rocks and stuff.

Without inspecting them in my shop, I can't say anything.
I rotate my park skis randomly without thinking. My pow skis I’ve started to ride them opposite of graphics cuz my inside top sheet is taking a beating from my previous R/L graphic cult religion
I like when skis don’t have a topsheet that match together. I rode my 16 bdogs on the same foot untill the edges got worn out. Still use the skis but now i run them opposite. since that i have always mismatched them and not had a speciffic foot
Interesting that there are differences in opinion on this. I just got new skis mounted and the shop put a "left ski" sticker on one of them. I'd be curious to ask them if they feel strongly about keeping it R/L.
