True, but now you’re progressing beyond Ski Bum tuning level. Can’t assume bases are flat either. Ski Bum may want to check the base edge bevel and if it needs adjustment then take it to a reputable shop. If Ski Bum wants to progress to Shop Rat tuning level and set base bevel themselves, then maybe take the time to watch the more in depth tuning clinic videos.

Whats funny is whenever my skis have acted weird or grabby or something ive just resorted to progressively detuning further and further until the funny handling stopped. I also stopped holding an edge on crust, ice, and compacted hardpack. Probably a non-flat base and or fucked base bevel. But at least without any edges to speak of, the snow cannot unexpectedly "catch" one....

Sorry, didn’t realize we were back on the point of this thread. Yes, often the factory tune is not perfect, and I’d happily take a free shop grind/tune to correct the dimples. If it’s a good shop with good equipment/techs you’ll very likely have a ski that’s in better than factory condition.

The Baker Bob edge tuning guide:
1)Ski to lift line corral
2)Place ski edge on metal crowd gate
3)Move leg forward and back to run edges on metal pipe
4)Proclaim audibly "That should work!"
5)Go ski
Repeat steps again if detune is not to desired levels

I’ve mounted a shit ton of skis in the shop and at home. I dimpled a pair mounting some tyrolia bindings….the front heel screws were way too fucking long. Reached out to the company and got told they fucked up a few and had let the shops know, sent me the right screws. Maybe this is what happened?
