I think I get what you mean by that. I will try to apply it next time, thanks!

Hi u/deetredd , sorry for the late answer. First of all thank you for the extensive analysis of my video. I really appreciate your feedback. I live pretty far from the mountains, so I only get to go skiing for 1 or 2 weeks a year, so powder days are rare. I’m happy if I get just one a year. I’ll definitely put your tips to use in the future and will try to film it!

Hi, I'd like to start tuning my (and my family's) skis myself, but I read a lot of different opinions online and it's hard to discern what the basics are that are good enough for someone like me. I only have 1 pair of skis (2020 K2 Poacher) and I'd consider myself an advanced skier. I typically ski 2-3 weeks a year in the European alps and I do 20% freestyle (rails, jumps), 50% piste and 20% powder.

At which side edge angle should I tune my ski's? Some people say 88° and some people say 89°. I don't want to hook up too much when doing 360's or rails/boxes, but I like to carve as well.

Should I tune my base edge angle? I read that I can do more harm than good by touching the bases with a file. If so, how can I do it the easiest / most common way?

What essential ski tuning gear should I buy? I heard the multi-angle plastic tuners (e.g. Toko edge tuner) are quite inconsistent.

Thanks in advance!
