What am I missing (an edge tuning thread)

[Yukonrider]

I've seen a different version of those that go on the outside of your liners, may be worth looking into. I think they were in the 20-50 range, so cheap enough to try out....

Have a pair of these I am struggling to get to not hurt my feet. My next step I believe is to shave the zeppa down a MM or two, but alas it is foam, how do I proceed?...

Today was really good at the bird. Dense but fluffy snow, somewhat good visibility, and I nailed the timing on a few things. Hope everyone got the goods, it was snowing hard when I left at 2, should still be good tomorrow as long as the sun stays away.

The drive down was sketchy, quite...

It seems the Wasatch will have some variety of ice for most of this season, and not your normal "haha its so icy, but its really just packed powder and you spent all season skiing over rocks type of ice".

I have spent some time tuning my skis, I have the file guides, the diamond...

Was watching this from the lift and wondering what was happening. Looks like Life Flight tried to land on 210 in front of the superior apron, the sheriff helicopter circled for a long time too. Hope they're alright....

The choice is real. I slipped on ice on regulator yesterday and broke a pole 2nd run of my 2nd day of the season, that put me in a pretty bad mood.

Pivoted and went up touring, got sucked into the Alta parking lot drama but eventually found a space and actually had some pretty nice turns...
