If I like it, I try to figure out what it is (by asking, or looking). If I don't like it I tweak. What usually happens with me is the ski has too much base bevel and I have trouble getting an edge on hardpack due to my funky leg ergonomics (let's just say I'll never be a ski racer.) So, I guess what I'm saying is there is no good formula in my opinion. Dan, what I always do is try the factory bevel first. If I like it, I try to figure out what it is (by asking, or looking).

Are you still a fan of 1x1 with the rockered skis? Just for reference- I've got a 0.5 x 3 on my in-bounds set-up and love how carvy it is at speed. If I've missed a past blog on this, just lemme know and I'll go to that instead to save you some response time. Thanks, Dan Lou,

I'm trying to figure out if the Kongur 161 is ok for me at 5'5" and 150 pounds. Thanks Mind if I ask how tall/heavy you are?
