Same here, first time riding wets! Similar situation to yours! Butters are so much simpler. I only got two days on mine thought.

having de-tuned them, I still find that they are easy to swerve in. I did hit a hidden rock.. hard… and I honestly thought they would have a core shot but… nothing but I light scratch.

Does a full detune affect stopping much more than just underfoot? Because I just did mine and I’m not sure if my inability to stop was caused by that, ice, alcohol, or a mix of them all

I just detuned underfoot didn’t have any issues stopping since it’s sticky ish snow. Id say that it’s probably ice

When I went to my local ski shop to get my bindings mounted I found some for sale. I’m guessing Home Depot has some

Home Depot, Menards, Lowes, Ace Hardware, Northern Tool, any of those kinds of stores will have these files.

I also love my wets , both plus and regular ones.

I got wets toward the end of last season, they rly unlocked a lot of potential for me in the park and I feel like I can do a lot of buttery shit I never had been able to before on stiff skis.

now I am well known at my local for swervey shit

just got wide plusses to as a second ski and I love those also. lil stiffer but still so fun and playful
