 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
In a discussion with other skiiers a while back we were talking about fettling skis and one chap insisted that he did not want his edges sharp if he was going to be skiing powder. The rest of us could not understand why - you are unlikely to catch an edge in powder. Do Snowheads have sharp or blunt edges for powder ? Is there any logic in his argument ?

Sharp edges. Nothing to do with skiing in powder as such - but even on a powder day you never quite know when you'll be skiing on something where decent edges are needed.

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

No
In powder it makes no difference if your edges are sharp or not.
Talking about thigh deep fluff here not just 2cm of fresh.

The only times I can think that one would want blunt/dull edges would be for park tricks ( blunted by the rails) or for ballet.... Which, seeing as we are no longer in the 1980's/early 90's, shouldn't even factor in.
Perhaps this guy is harbouring a secret.....

The state of your edges makes no difference in powder.
