Man, I sure wish I had a dentist appointment or something.
So, while we're at it. Why is it that folks can discount a 10mm difference underfoot as being no big deal and skier ability is sooo much more important than that kind of equipment variance ,,i...e.. It doesn't matter as much as people make it out to be... But when we're talking about boot alignment, canting, etc.. that one or two tiny millimeters here or there matters HUGELY!
Same goes for one or two degree different side edge bevel....
I suspect it all revolves around us justifying and defending the possibly sub optimal choices and decisions we have made..
me prior to my self diagnosed alignment. my left skis is so soft that I basically had to rotate my pelvis to turn right.
the easy switch canted out 4 degree left boot, 2 degree right boot. I can easily tip my skis and I could counter instead of rotating with me skis.
Skiing is hard, always blame the equipment first. If someone is serious about skiing find a boot fitter or a coach with an eye for alignment and actually change the freaking boots.
I do not agree that more work = slower. More work = more work.

my 113mm Patron do not go Ka-wump when I change edges. None of my skis do that......
Well 10mm is fairly significant unless it's. between 125 and 135.So, while we're at it.

I know. More talk about alignment.
the thing is I can personally control how fast or slow my edge rise or fall. You should never "snap" edge changes no matter how wide the ski.

If they made a 100 mm ski with a stiff shovel and deep side cut, it would “get over” quicker for me than a skinny noodle 65mm ski with a soft shovel and shallow sidecut - for someone who knows how to get the ski to do the work.

In bumps it probably matters.
