Someone last season let me try theirs for a hot minute last year. Never knew that edges provided so much structure/stiffness to a ski till they were gone. Cannot express how soft they are.

What you think on the b dog edge less? I’m thinking about getting a pair. I ski East coast ice, park, pipe, only medium jumps. Nothing huge. I like buttery. I am fairly beginner. Can you elaborate on the dangerous part ???

Will this be your only ski or part of a quiver. If it a your only/daily absolutely no. You will hate it. Won't turn most days, flex out on jumps, etc. Part of a quiver and used for warm slushy days lapping a jib park, yes, you will love it.

Ok I see why you’re saying. It would be a part of a quiver. But I do already have a dedicated park ski, was looking to also use it a fair amount on downhill groomers. Have you had any experience with the b dogs with edge ? Or just edge less?

For groomers you'll want something with an edge and more stifffness. The edgeless excels at low speed, jibby stuff like presses, swaps, and butters but will not be very satisfying for driving turns down a groomer.
