ski what you like but a 90 mm ski ain't no pow board!? But even with your nerotic tendencies, you have to admit sharp edges in powder are at the very best useless and can be detrimental at worst. Having edges that are sharp and skiing off-piste can grab on branches, underbrush rocks and such on thin spots and are harder to slide (drift for you) at times when it gets stiff or chalky. There's no benefit to skiing sharp edges in soft snow. I detune about a foot down from the contact points on the tip/tail and leave a 2:1 underfoot. Right tools...? but ski what you want- that's what it's about.  (now remember, I will still gladly accept a nice mini-tune..  )
