Bum factory tune

By Ranked #42 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis February 11, 2010

I have not skied them yet, however i'm just noticing that the factory tune is sort of a joke. The edge is pretty dull and the base looks pretty dried out. If your skiing in powder you probably don't care about the edge (i never once tuned my last pair of backcountry skis - i imagine most people probably don't either), however i def want my bases to be in good condition. Granted everything i mention here can be fixed with a couple hours of manual labor but i'd prefer my brand new skis to be ready to hit the slopes without those few hours...
