its a rail, rails are made of metal, so are your skis edges. Metal on metal = damage

if you have ever done a rail at a resort then looked at your skis invision that look, its gona be the same. The only thing that recks them more is when you biff hard and the ski smash's into concrete. So either yous your old/rock skis or find a cheep set of used ones if your really really worried about damaging your skis.

Or when you stomp it and still end up skiing out onto the concrete.

shitty skis are key. i thought we had enough snow one day and i was using my regular skis and they dragged on the pavement for a couple of seconds while riding in the trunk and they tore up the bottoms. worst mistake i have made in a while. be smart before you just go

if you have orange ar5's the edges will get shitty, but it overall helps for grinding
