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

FaunaSkisnah, just put them on any foot nobody will notice.

I'd still rotate those.
ArgyleNJInteresting 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.

Probably because they set the bindings to your boot. One boot can be worn funny because of the way you walk. ;-)

They were practically brand new boots too. Only had 1 day on them.

PissWizard69Stereotypical ns setup with the fulltilts, pivots, and the bombproof on3p’s

NOT
BOMBPROOF


my mags are completely edgeless on both skis, if you ski on a chairlift then you got a completely different opinion on ski durability. besides the durability misconception they’re fun ass skis.

Hence why i said bombproof and not chairlift proof

jokes aside, what does a chairlift have to do with on3p durability?

you get like 1/10 the ware someone skiing a tow rope got, meet anyone riding on3p on a rope and they straight up won’t have underfoot edge. It’s not limited to people skiing ropes either as i started losing edge within the first month of use.

Learn how to do a "long" base bevel when they are new, and then learn not to bang so hard. Be smoother, and they will last way longer.
