Edges matter on ice. And yes, the difference is noticable (if the edga has been blunt "enough").
- vlovich123 2y agoHow frequently do you need to tune? I usually only tune at the beginning of each season. Does tuning also prolong the longevity of the board? This article doesn’t seem to address that.
- swader999 2y agoFiling edges and base grinding cuts material away so it shortens the life. Not a huge concern though. Racers typically wax and tune edges every 10-20 runs. Recreationally, if you are on a narrow groomer type ski on icy runs, every few days is great and will help you enjoy and improve faster. Well fitted ski boots are more critical though.
- jcgrillo 2y agoI do edges every day (usually just a few passes with a fine stone and a light deburring with gummy stone), base wax as required by the conditions.
