Edge Bevel 

Edge Bevel describes the degree of angle that a ski tech puts on a ski or snowboardedge. The level of edge hold depends on the edge bevel of both the side edge and the base edge of the ski or snowboard.

The average edge bevel equals one degree on the side edge and one degree on the base edge providing for a overall edge bevel of 88 degrees.

Snowboard and Ski Racers, Edge Heads and expert riders prefer greater degrees of Edge Bevel to provide sharper ski and snowboard edges for greater edge hold.
Hey, I prefer to point em, but when I need it, I like a 3 Degree side Edge Bevel for kick-ass edge hold on those bullet-proof ski runs.
The bevel is a classic Rockettes pose. Bevels are part of choreography and transitions and a more formal pose that is used in photo shoots and during on-camera interviews.
I haven’t taught my mom how to bevel yet.

A huge city, home to the Yevon religion. In true facts, it is also the home of the most powerful machinas ever produced in Spira. (Exemple? Vegnagun. Filled by lying heathens, this city, in my humble opinion, stinks.
Bevelle rhymes with Turd.

base edge bevel

The base edge bevel is the degree of upward ski or snowboard edge angle away from the snow surface.

Base edge bevel allows the ski or snowboard to skid at the beginning of the turn, prior to hooking-up or engaging a turn. The result is that the ski or snowboard is less likely to get caught-up on the snow and throw the rider into the woods.

Too much base edge bevel can result in skidding a turn or not having enough edge hold on the firm, hard snow surfaces resulting in a yard sale.
I love turning screws as a ski tech, but that Edge Head bitching about his base edge bevel not giving him enough edge hold is enough to piss off the Pope.
