Well, there's powder skiing (i.e. all mountain, backcountry, big mountain), and there's just regular skiing (like down cruisers and shit, the trails that would surround the park). Not to mention there's ski racing, if that's your thing.

Put them under your tires and drive over them.

Just walk into a race team and say:

"Hey - I'll trade a pair of park skis and a super dope baggy comfortable suit for a set of slalom sticks and a skin suit."

Someone in there hates their life enough to take you up on it immediately.

Even if you don't ski park you can still use twin tips and be fine. Nowadays twin tips on non park skiers is actually pretty common. Your ski carves the same with or without raised tails except for the fact that with raised tails I've heard you release from the carve easier

You much needed a professional help for your skis. They have more knowledge bout it.

Just stick them in a fire for awhile and they should soften up nicely.

Flattening the tails won't help as it won't change the sidecar which is what affects how you carve

Meant sidecut

My friend dared me to do something like this and the coach said fuck off you little shit.

And that is what its like to give up freeskiing for racing.

just saw off your tails and tips, you'll be left with a perfect carving ski, just like you want

 

[theabortionator]

Crack your tails so you can bend em

Dude, the only reason you'd wanna get rid of you twin tip (yes, flattening it out won't make a single difference on ski performance) is that somebody often skis behind you and is super tired of getting sprayed. Otherwise don't wreck your ski for no reason...

 

[Zimmy]

I would try to pickup some old comp SL skis (maybe ex-hire) and then use them without poles but aim to minimize snow-spray (eg kicking out tails at end of every turn) and then always facing direction of ski (ie not forcing your upper body to always face downhill regardless of ski direction, as so many skiers are taught.)

 

[Zimmy]

... the closest feeling is that of riding a rollercoaster (ie banked turns, body always facing direction of forward movement, and importantly, no acceleration/deceleration during turn, and only minor alterations of body sensation during turn (the g-force, but not the body position.))

... so within that you can start to feel he heart
