That's why I'm asking. I've said what we do at the shop after tuning a ski, but I'm not going to bias the thread by saying what it is here.Any intentional dulling of the edge inside of the widest spot on tip and tail.
Doug, I think you and some of the other shop folks here don't understand how sophisticated you are. There are LOTS of shops out there that just routinely round off the edge egregiously for six inches inboard of the when-on-edge contact points.

For those that said 'any dulling of the edge', do you mean dulling with a gummi? with a file? hard pressure? light pressure? Foremost, I'm not interested in what you like or don't like, but how you define it. I know what is good for a ski , but I don't necessarily know what people mean when the say 'detune' or 'don't detune'. Like defining a 'skoch', or 'a touch'.

Yes and no, depends on the type of snowDoes anyone notice that well sharpened skis feel a little hooky in fresh or chopped up snow? I prefer this to dulled edges but still notice it sometimes.
