Knowfish Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 What are most people running? Went to my local ski shop for a tune and they put 3 degree on the side and .75 degree on the base. Rode this past weekend on groomed packed powder and that combination seemed fine for my intermediate abilities. I'd like to do future sharpening myself so I'd like to buy fixed angle edge tools. In the past I just used whatever angles came on the stock burton alps and rossi accelerator. I ride mainly narrow tahoe trials that are often icy in one section and soft in others.

dmc Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 For the boards that see east coast hardpack, groom, and packed pow, I've always done 1° base, 88° side. Good compromise between bite a long-lasting edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan Guy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 +1 for a base at 1 degree and side at 2 degrees. Good edge hold and still okay for flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
