Are the degree options for both edge & base just a personal preference, or is there a preferred angle for icy/granular (New England) skiing?

It's always a personal preference, but for icy you need a more acute edge angle to hold onto whatever you can. For an acute edge, I like my edge at a 3 degree bevel, and my base at a 1 degree bevel.
