I went on my first skiing trip of the season this past weekend with my un-tuned slalom skis (I know, I know... But I didn't get the chance to hit the shop beforehand) and noticed that my edges could not hold through the turn. To be more exact, I could feel the edges disengaging/skis slipping just after the apex of the turn. I took my skis to the tune shop to see what's up and found out that although the edges were sharp at the top, they were horridly dull at the bottom half of the skis.
Which brings me to ask, is it normal for skis to have dull edges at the bottom if I'm mostly doing (good) curved turns, or is it a symptom of poor technique?
