Such a tough crowd.....yes guilt as charged including metal fllings and the sippy cup!  ::)

Perry, I believe that tunning the skis that support my abilty to turn and stop in all conditions is vital to me skiing the next day....so, I debur, or resharpen as needed and find if I screw up, it wasn't my skis fault.  Waxing ....well that goes without question, to glide is to smile! A nice soft wax brushed in daily or some Zardox keeps the boards floating and carving with ease.

And with  my after ski ritual ... I find it meditating and comforting!

I must add that I am totally sold on a 3 degree side bevel and 1 degree base for my carving and powder skis. I changed from 2 to 3 degrees for the side bevel last ski season and have no regrets.

Keep um sharp, keep um waxed......and keep the sippy cup filled!  ;D
Best,
Gary
