Quality (sharpness) of ski's edges is also measured by how much they MINIMIZE sliding while turning at speed. But hey, I also don't understand why a bunch of people would run in front of bulls trough narrow streets and call that fun. As I said, different strokes for different folks. It'd be a boring world if we all liked the same things.
