Should the edges @ the tip of the ski be filed so they are not as sharp to help prevent sidewall wear ? I have had skis where the sidewall @ the tips of the skis have worn then the bases & edges are wider then the rest of the ski & if one ski rubes against the other in the tip area it will push the edge & base away from the ski. As the sidewall gets thinner & thinner the pushing force will eventually delaminate the base & or edge from the ski. I have a pair of head isl skis just put helicopter tape on tips not sure if this will work & maybe I should have filled the edges down a little but how much of the tip should the edges be filled to prevent wear but not effect performance ?hanks
