I must say Jim while skiing I've never sensed a burr on my edges, Harold may be way more tuned into that than I. I have felt edges that needed sharpening after skiing hardpack for a day. I have also felt the difference between waxed and "I need wax" skis. The glide in and out of turns so much more effortlessly with recently waxed bases. These are the primary reasons I work on them at the end of each full day of skiing. Takes 10 minutes and they're good to go. Usually involes running the ceramic stone or diamond stone with guides and usually only a? couple of passes...checking the tips and tails edges for any major burrs and then a soft waxy on waxy off. Bingo...ready for the next day!

When I was skiing in Chile...the snow was so soft that my edges and bases looked great even after 3 days of pow....maintenace there was minimul to none.

Hope that helps....G
