So I’m detuning my skis sometime this month and I was wondering if I should just do a basic under-the-boot detune or just get rid of the entire edge. I know that if I were to get rid of the edge completely I wouldn’t be able to carve, but can y’all give me some pros and cons ab detuning the whole edge vs just under the boot?

Yes, except you’ll still be able to notice an underfoot detune, you will still notice you have less effective edge. As stated, there are no pros of detuning your whole ski and you’ll have much much less control than just detuning underfoot. Detuning underfoot will still be noticeable skiing but will be well worth doing to prolong the life of your edges and to not catch on rails.
