I just got a secondhand pair of Elan Amphibio WaveFlex 12 (full specs here) and was having some thoughts on the edge angles. Each ski has a rockered edge on the outside of the ski, and a cambered edge on the inside of the ski. The idea is when turning the downhill ski will have full edge contact and the uphill ski will have partial contact.
I’ve been Skiing since I could walk but am in no way a tuning expert. Ill usually go for a .75-1 base edge and 88-89 side edge, spend most of my time in northeast mountains that lean way more towards ice than powder.
My question is would it be beneficial to set the inside edge differently than the outside edge? If the concept of the ski is to get a powerful grip on the inside cambered edge would it make sense to cut that angle a bit sharper? Not sure if a shop would even do this and not looking to try it myself but thought it would be cool to try and fit my skiing style.
Anyone have any thoughts? Much Appreciated!
