The other major feature of the Camber Keeper is that it prevents skis from scissoring which can dull the nice edges you spent so long trying to sharpen to perfection. The metal edges of your skis help maintain grip in turns preventing the skis from slipping and/or skidding. Maintaining a sharp edge is important for proper ski performance. The sharper the edge of the ski the better grip the ski will have. If skis are secured to each other using only the ski binding brakes it creates a single pivot point allowing the skis to slide against each other, or scissor. This can dull and/or damage the metal edges of the skis. The Camber Keeper is placed above the toe end of the binding and secured with a Velcro strap holding the skis firmly together and preventing them from scissoring. Regards, Urs Moeker Janne,
