justapurrin, K2 Apache factory specs are 0.5 to 1 degree base & 2 degree side angle.
Salomon factory specs are a little more imprecise in that the techies manual states both the base & side angles can vary from 1 to 1.5 degrees. A great help eh?
What angle file guides do you have?
Best to put some marked pen across a section of edge & do a bit of gentle fine stoning with your file guide. What you're looking for is to remove the marked pen equally right across the edge indicating that the guide's angle matches that of the ski. If you remove just the outer or inner portion of the marker pen then your file angle is either steeper or shallower than the ski's actual edge angle.
It's worth testing the angles at interals along the base as factory settings can be inconsistent along the length of the ski.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

justapurrin, I don't think it matters what the manufacturers put on them.
But a 1* base and 2* side works fine for me on all the skis I've tried it on.
When my current side bevel guide wears out, I think I'll try a 3*.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I find that a full service is about €24 myself. What angle does that translate into?
