I have skied with left and right stickers on my skis for 10 years. It’s not because I always need a specific ski on one foot or the other, its more of a combination on me liking to ski fast and don’t know left and right; when someone behind me shouts “go left” I can quickly look down and see which way to go.
This on the other hand means that the edges on one side of my skis wears out more than the other. I have old skis, but they don’t have a ton of ski days on them, so they’ve been working okay. Until yesterday when I switched skis with my friend for a couple of runs. All of a sudden I could actually get some nice carving turns in, and my friend was sliding around like Bambi.
I ordered a new pair of skis yesterday, and switched my skis around today. I had to do some extra left and right thinking and will have to come up with a new solution for my new skis.
It wouldn’t hurt if we got some more snow still.
