Thank you all  for your input.

I think the shop in Frisco that taught us this method may have been Precision Ski, but I can't say for certain.  However I did just call them and the tech said that they had been there since 1981 so it was probably the same shop.  The tech (who had been there 15 years) also said that they no longer beveled the base ptex along with the base edge; they now bevel only the base edge.

However, because of that phone call, and the post above by LivingProof, I'm gonna call it a win,  since the folks on the epic ski forum apparently think that I am absolutely insane for even considering such a thing as beveling the ptex base along with the edge.

I can testify that I still do it and it still works on a cambered ski, such as my Recons.

Thanks again
