I seriously would listen to what these guys are saying, I went to a dry slope and that covered my skis in grass somehow, took a while to get off and I had to completely disassemble my boot to get the grass off.

And nothing bad happens to boots. Snow is pretty much the same as water.

It depends if u go into a pool or lake but either way theyll still get stinky

liners can get fucked, bindings and skis however, i wouldn't worry that much about it, just wash em off with fresh water and let em dry .... i don't see how jumping in and out of the water with your skis is so much different of skiing slush on a spring day ...

The edges of skis just get rusty. And after two years of water ramping, I have lost around 50% of the edges on both skis

did you wipe em off afterwards? i can't think of any reason why waterramping would be worst than skiing spring slush, except of course when you ramp into seawater or something.... Is there anyone that can explain it to me with some solid evidence ? or is it just because of the higher temperatures that your skis get fucked ? i'm just curious to see what makes the difference ...

Its not horrible for edges but whenever you land your landing on hard water whick causes lots of stress againgst the skis which causes them to snap and when skis get waterlogged the core will start to giveaway
