Jim,
Do you do your own maintenance on the edges? Does Peter check tune prior to skiing to assure that the manufacturer spec is in compliance? I'm perplexed that the tune is so different from the posted literature. The question is do you want to ski them and evaluate them on an "as-found" basis, or, bring them back to something more moderate like the typical 1/3 tune. For sure, I would get it clarified from the manufacturer. My gut feeling is that I would like a moderate tune in my initial skiing (that's a personal opinion folks).
Nope, I'm not a hands on maintenance guy.? I have a couple of trusted shops here and there.
Don't know if Peter checks tune or not. I imagine more likely to check if the skis act funny than to check all skis ahead of time. Peter raved about performance on frozen slush, maybe this is part of why (along with the torsional stability).
I plan to ski them as is and see what I think. My other two pair are turned 1 and 3 by my choice.?
I have sent SkiLogik a message asking about the edge bevels.
Gary, I can't believe that you don't have the little tool that tells you the angles. Whether Win's was off by a degree is hard to say?
