East coast touring…. Edges are nice even traversing on piste when you going up after the lifts have closed and the machined dust has been scraped off the hardpack. Also the one time a flexy ski is better on ice, when you gotta traverse a bumped out section…

Also have backcountry nordic pair with metal edges for similiar reason — tho i only debur them, never sharpened.

On piste skinning is mostly because it’s where the snow is until the back country fills in later in the season.
