You can do it yourself very easily.

What you want to do is to get a file and apply vinyl or electrical tape to one side of it. make it thick, roughly half a cm.

Take a permanent marker and mark the base edge, the area of the edge that is along side of the running surface/base. What you are doing is making the marker for you to see how much of the edge you are beveling.

Take that file you applied tape to, and put the tape side on the base of the board, that tape has then angled your edge at an aproximate 1-2 degree base bevel.

Run the file along the markered portion of the base and you will see from the metal you remove that you are then beveling the edges.

very simple and very easy to do, plus you still have side edge to use for the harder snow conditions.
