Does anybody else do this? Tryin out something new on my vishnus so I can gain maximum swerve potential.

I rode them like this at troll a couple weeks ago and It felt good, I definitely didn’t feel like I was lacking control

I detune my skis from the tip to the tail.
An edge file at roughly 45° and like, 7 passes from tip to tail and you're good to go in my experience.

I do a full detune but I probably wouldn’t recommend it if you don’t have to

It would make sense if you were riding slush and could nose/tail press harder than B-Dog, otherwise no.

For my park skis, full detune. Tip to tail. I round the entire thing off til it’s dull as a butter knife. They handle so much more easy going than a ski that’s only detuned underfoot, and left sharp up top and bottom. Leaving them sharp at top and bottom felt so squirrelly and unpredictable I totally hated it.



Also if anyone says to let your skis “detune naturally” and you plan on hitting rails heavily, don’t listen to them. So stupid, you’ll crack the edge before it detunes, or worse… blow your edge out.

I detuned the whole things but put a lot less effort into the tip and tail area, they probably barely got much more dull. It's been a couple years tho and no edge cracks!

I only detune under the binding and a light detune 4-5” past the bindings for park skis. Still nice to keep a part of the ski in good shape

Core, yea I did like 4 passes tip to tail at 45, so it’s like not even that harsh of a detune, I still got edge

I like to rip the edge out underfoot and file the tip and tail edges to a nice 45 degree👍

Whatever feels good. I only detune under the bindings, but I'm skiing on mostly firm snow and ice. I like having maximum edge grip too.

Same just under the binding so my edges don't catch on a rail

hey guys as you know i wanna start skiing park, got some line chronics. what do i do with them? im not gonna be going crazy, so is it worth it to detune them? how do they handle outside of the park if they're detuned? and do i need to worry about them cracking. THX

Last day skiing this spring my homie towed me through a puddle with his truck and I forgot to dry my skis off. Edges got rusty and resulted in me having to file the whole edge down. Rails now slide like butter but i needed a day or two to get used to them on snow.

Yes but it depends on what type of ski and what I want from it. For a freeride/AM ski that sees some park I like a light detune everywhere, makes it feel very consistent and predictable but still okay grip for firmer days. On a dedicated park ski I'll lightly detune everything again but add in a heavy de-tune underfoot, just for reliability on rails
