I know there are no stupid questons just stupid people but I am not sure about this. I just bought new skis online and I am formulating a plan to get the initial set-up correct. I bought 2016 Dynastar Glory 84 (needs 2 degree side edge) and Head Monster 83 (needs 3 degree). The steps so far are 1. check base flatness 2. plane sidewall. Do I need to plane the sidewalls of these skis? Is sidewall planing more for race skis or well-filed edges. I could just start filing and if there is plastic in the file, then I need to plane but that would not be ideal. would rather know as I am compiling a list of tools I will need to accomplish these tasks. I don't have a sidewall planer but know which one I will get http://www.racewax.com/toko-world-cup-file-medium-cut-8-inch/.
