just becuase your skis have round deges doesnt mean they wont be able to ride all over the place, round edges just makes it easier to ride rails in the future, and doesnt make all mountain riding any harder

i guess there is some truth to that, the edges wont be round on the whole side of the ski, just in the middle. it seems like my skis will fall apart faster though. you know any ways to keep them in shape

if you want your skis sharp, but still want to go in the park you could always alternate going in the park with skiing all mountian. so after a day in the park, go home and sharpen the edges. the next day, go do some all moutian ripping, find some ice and wear them down for the next day in the park. I donno, thats the only thing I could come up with that would semi answer your question, that and just take good care of your skis, lean how to tune yourself then you can tune after every session

But grinding can only hurt the edges in the middle of the ski. That is where you grind and it wont make a big difference for all mountain riding because all the other parts of the edge are sharp
