Will my edges detune naturally?

I’m wanting to get into park later this year around spring. I’m getting some jefferey 102s this year and they seem best for it. I’m in Montana mainly skiing bridger and a few days at big sky.

Should I just do it naturally or just take a file to the underfoot

Doesn’t ON3P offer detuned edges before shipping?

They will, but they will also develop burr's which cold increase the potential of an edge crack if your skiing rails.

If you are doing a decent amount of rails I highly recommend doing at least a minor detune underfoot as it slows down edge cracks

i file my skis several times a season. a round edge can withstand more rails than a sharp edge

I keep like a weird pink stone thing with me that’s not as harsh as a file for burs and cracks. Not a gummy stone just some cheap weird pink stone thing.

I’m wanting to ride those perfect edges a bit before detuning at all, going to use some beater park skis while learning too

Sweet definitely will just do a small one before I hope on rails with this.

imo I would never hit a rail with edges that aren't detuned because catching an edge on a rail sucks. The chances are much higher of this happening with sharp edges. A couple seasons back I saw a racer in a g suit try hitting a rail on their race skis. Caught their back foot inside edge, did the splits, and switch nutted the rail.

Just my opinion.

It wont kill the turn if you detune your skis. The turn on park skis and wider (90+) skis are usually not that good either way.

Yeah I’m still waiting on them anyways. If it’s going to be my daily for most days would you detune? Also is the rec for jeffereys, I think it’s -4, good for rails?

I would definitely detune your skis if you're going to be hitting rails. It will make it easier to slide them and will much help slow down the development of edge cracks.

Also saw in another thread that you daily Kartel 108s. Just a few questions, did you mount at rec for these? Also I’m assuming you detuned but did you?

skiing rails on fresh edges builds character

I mounted mine center. I also detuned heavily. I did have some shitty hard days slipping around on them, but that is to be expected for a 108 waist ski with lots of rocker. That’s why i have some old punx in my quiver.
At center the kartels worked great for everything soft though. I ski the whole mountain but i tend to stick with a lot of park. Feels grest to hit park after a pow lap. Floats good enough for me. Got some dumps this season with about 2 feet of snow, and i kept myself afloat nicely. If you lean more on the all mtn side i would say go rec

Yes they will detune on their own but they will also be more likely to crack if you don't.
